    Re: worst injury?

    Ive had no serious injuries but thought id share one of my more stupid moments. When i was little my mum took me and my sis to the park, i got my knees stuck in the vertical gaps in the back rest part of a park bench . I was stuck a while my mum was about ready to call the fire department to get me out, but eventually she pulled hard enough and freed me. I ended up with very bruised knees.

    I may be slow, but where do you keep your brain, James?
    I just can't think of any appropriate three letter words you wouldn't be able to write out . . .
    can you give me a hint?

    btw
    as a child I was once hung on a tree by a horse
    no serious injury - just a tree branch puncture wound on my backside - but pretty funny judging from witness accounts

    The secret word is "***".

    I'll give you a hint after all: Equus asinus.

    At the end of the dorsal stripe.

    Re: worst injury?

    okay, thanks
    got it now
    makes perfect sense
    James is not the only one keeping his brain there, though his seems to function better than those of others keeping theirs in that location

    Re: worst injury?

    It pays off to have a bit of decentralization and redundancy in the brain department, so that no real harm is done if you laugh your head clean off or fall on you ***. The drawback is that when you update some piece of information, you have to update it everywhere, or you'll end up typing "If I remember correctly" in every post.

    What I'm trying to say, is that he's definitely not the only one who keeps his brain there, but there are a few other places I keep mine as well.

    Actually, I'm saying all this just to pass the time. Well look at that, it's past four, time to head home.

    edit2: I'm home.

    Re: worst injury?

    Lol probably the worst injury I've ever had is when I pulled my back after swinging a large pick axe and mallet all day when landscaping... And moving huge railroad ties lol. Other than that nothing, a trip to the chiropractor fixes anything I've managed to do.

    Ford PINTO versus SEMI-TRUCK.

    Head on.

    I had a concussion, a deep cut on my forehead, chipped some of the enamel off two front teeth, fractured a molar, had a blood clot in my leg.

    The pinto was totalled.

    The semi lost his front axle.

    The semi was at fault... left of center.
