From a scot to a scot

Canuck, I'm going to chase you down and whack you with a stick. It's murder, sitting here laughing with a cracked rib.

You're killing me!

But I'm enjoying it, a little.

Yes, it is very funny. Yes, I really do have a cracked rib. Hurts less when I just chuckle.

Well if you do chase me down, do it soon while your rib is still cracked. That way I can easily outrun you.

Better start lacing up those running shoes, mate.

Went to the doc today at my wifes' urging. Good thing i did. My ribs were not broken or cracked, they were dislocated. I wasn't aware such was possible, but apparently i managed it. After much twisting and bending of my poor body by the doctor (and much mumbling and quiet cursing by yours truly) I have been told to expect to back to normal in a week, back on the pipes in ten days.

It still hurts like blue blazes, but it's a different kind of pain. I can't explain it any better than that. My sternum still feels like I've been hit with a refrigerator, but my back and sides feel different.

May I take the liberty of both congratulating you on a good sense of humor and also pirate your O.P. for the benefit of a few friends?

Well, four anyway.

That really sums it up! I can't wait to pull this out at my mates birthday bash!

I agree, I DO have a wonderful sense of humour, or at least people are always expressing wonder about my sense of humour, but of course I can't take credit for this particular piece: I got it via email and just copied and pasted it.
