"It wasn't my everyday leg, to put it that way."

A little levity and a Happy Ending in these dark days. ;)

Well, at least it was sticking out of a Wisconsin beaver damn and not a Wisconsin beaver. Sorry, someone had to go there.

It’s a real good thing it wasn’t his everyday leg. ;-)

Those are good beavers that found it!

I hate when my prosthetic leg ends up in Wisconsin. How the heck did it get there?

This is proof that beavers tend to like that extra leg.

Once I saw what looked like a body floating in the water near my office out by the Oakland airport. I reported it and Police and Fire dept responded —dressed in full body recovery garb and a hook and ladder truck—and pulled a kick boxing dummy out of the water.

I have a prosthetic leg...I don’t know what I would do if I was out and lost mine...If I didn’t have crutches with me, I’d have to crawl to where ever I had to go, I guess....

That’s really amazing...

Funny story....The first halloween after I lost my leg everyone at work just assuned I’d dress as a pirate for our party...All week, I walked around work going,”Arrrrgh!!!”

My wife found some 4-5 inch rubber sharks and dangled them from a pair of shorts...I painted my stub end red and went as a shark attack victim....

I won the best costume...LOL
