Stairs? Bah. I’d rather climb up and down a dozen flights of stairs, crawling on my hands and knees, than be forced to endure another broken heart.
I’d rather have a broken heart. I know how those mend in me and I’d rather go with that than the unknown of a broken leg. I think my future prognosis for health in old age would be better off without any bone breaks along the way if I can help it. The heart can take care of itself.
I’ve never had a broken heart. At most, it’s been slightly cracked. (Yes, I’m an unfeeling mofo, thanks for asking.) I’d rather have the broken heart any day though. A broken leg would be more of a hassle to me.
Since my heart was broken just this morning, I can answer with complete authority that I would trade in the way I’m feeling now for a broken leg in a second. Broken hearts hurt in an unimaginable way and there is nothing you can do but wait it out. Give me physical pain any day.
Forgive my emotional immaturity (and having never had a broken bone of any sort) but you can have a broken leg from any sort of ridiculous accident, but a broken heart from feeling fond for someone.
So you may have better memories to look back on from the broken heart than the broken leg.
YMMV and all that.
Could I just break the leg of the person who broke my heart?
The person who broke my heart is pregnant with my kid, leg breaking ain’t an option!
There ya go,that’s the spirit; although it might be preferable to pay someone named Vito to do it for you. I’m proud of you, me boy.
Broken head. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about the legs or the heart.
I second that Pushkin .
I’m not sure I’d rather have a broken heart than a broken leg, but I believe you learn more and grow more from a broken heart. In fact, I’ll take it another step and opine that everyone should have his or her heart broken once in life. Yes, it hurts like hell, and that kind of spiritual and psychological hurt will make the physical pain from a broken leg seem like facial acupuncture.
But it’s a pain you can learn from. You’re not going to learn very much from the pain of a broken leg, other than not taking the mountain bike off any more sweet jumps until you’re more coordinated, but the pain from a broken heart can help you analyze where you went wrong, it can help you get stronger, and it can keep you from making more mistakes in life and love. So I’ll take the broken heart over the broken leg any day, although I’m happy to admit that it sucks worse.
–Linty, who had his heart shattered in college by a flaky coed and went on to marry the best damned woman on the planet, thanks to what he learned from the experience.
I’ve done enough learning by way of broken heart, thankyouverymuch. Not all pain has to result in personal growth. The broken leg stays at the top of my list. 
I’ve already got a broken heart. Leave my leg the hell alone.
Or…sure, my heart’s already broken. Go ahead and break my leg too!
