just stumbled across your blog here and am enjoying the pics, but enjoying even more the one-legged humor. My dad was such a crack up about everything and when he had his right leg amputated, it just opened a whole new field of jokes, pranks and one-liners. The first was when he was being discharged from the hospital after the amputation. He was marveling to the doc about the fact that he had last 16 lbs in just 10 days. The doc tried to avoid the obvious when my dad slapped his (own) forehead and said "oh, that's right, I lost a limb!" Doc was speechless. One Thanksgiving mom and dad were visiting us, and when we got up in the morning dad saw that my husband was slowly making his way to the only upstairs bathroom. He quickly grabbed his crutches and raced to the john at alarming speed. As he edged my husband out, dad turned to him and said, "how 'bout that! you got smoked by a one-legged man on Thanksgiving morning, son!" Too many to share, but enjoying the memories.
You don't have to outrun the bear.
I think you would beat me.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! (but, I'm pretty sure you'd beat me as well...)

This one has made me laugh the most. If you can't laugh at yourself, then you can't laugh at others, well you can, but the quote sounded good.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful memories your son will have years from now! Great job!
