As my daughter seldom lets me operate her beloved 1986 Vanagon (AKA Mystery
Machine) unless it is to get repairs made I was forced onto my 2 wheel
method of travel last year on a trip south (about 1000 miles+) to Key West.
I made it down there safely and the next morning stepping out of my motel
room I did pretty much the same as Joy did - broke my right leg just above
the ankle .  Lets see, 1000 miles from home on a motorcycle.  I bet I caused
more than my share of double takes while traveling back north through the
'Glades with a set of crutches bungee strapped to the sissy bar on my bike!

There may be, but some of us are always testing the limits.

 There is such a thing as too much smart-a$$...

  Later, and with much snow and ice on the ground, we were leaving the cash
register at Wal*Mart and my wife was ahead of me. I was, of course, on
crutches. I yelled out loudly, "Please don't leave me again ... it's so hard
to walk home on the ice"!
