Maybe next time you’ll realize that when we tell you we want our money by Thursday, we mean business, eh?
The hero, played by Jimmy Stewart, is laid-up with a broken leg and starts to snoop on his neighbors . . . Thus begins the suspense!
Thanks for closing the loop on my little joke, Eve. It was all I could visualize after reading the thread title.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, indecisive1.
Thanks Mr. Moto. I do intent to see the movie so I can fully appreciate your joke!
Yesterday I had a new cast put on and another “reduction” now that the swelling has gone down. They put under general anesthesia, and had me in a full-fledged surgical room. I looked around and all the equipment, and all the Dr.s, nurses, aides and realized that my little walk in the woods was going to end up being very, very expensive.
Does anyone know if the Fire Department charges when they respond to a medical call? They had to come find me up on the bluff and haul me out. I suppose I should at least send them some sort of thank you gift.
cripes! I hope you can read around my typos!
My brother has been hauled off to the hospital a few times after doing some fool thing or other. It is a free service.
I can tell you, though, that you will get a bill in the mail for a new telephone pole if you crash your Chevy Cavalier into it.
Arg! did you brother do that? Is he ok? How much does the average telephone pole cost anyway? I suppose you have to pay for installation, too, huh?
He’s fine now, but suffered internal injuries (including a lacerated liver) at the time.
I believe the bill for the phone pole was about $1200.
indecisive1…get a large bathrobe.
If nobody is home but you, the heck with the pants. Sit around in your bathrobe.
When I was in a hip to toes cast, I also had 74 stitches in my abdomen, and couldn’t wear underwear or anything else that would mess with the stitches.
Hanging out, commando-style, in a robe eliminates the dropping the drawers part of the problem.
You only have to put on yer skivvies if ya need 'em!
DDHey, that sounds rather fun! Hanging out comando-style, I mean, not having a belly full of stitches!
Heck, maybe I’ll skip the bathrobe part too. It’s just me around here most of the time.
Mr. Moto, glad your brothers ok. He did go sign “his” phone pole, didn’t he?
