Sorry. Can't help it.
I’m dying…:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol :
Oh my God, can’t breathe any more…
Someone needs a "ROCKET" over this :lol:
Guess he will always be the “butt” of jokes with his reenactor buddies!
“Fire in the hole”!
He had the thing in the wrong tube!
Lordy me! they would have been in stitches in the OR after all had settled down & removed it, I guess the shell went from Olive Drab paint scheme to a Mission Brown one! :madsmile::rofl::madsmile:

It was a total dis-***-ter, doctor. A real cat-***-strophe. I was in the rear with the gear, and now I have some major disbumfort. I would have come right away, but the Mrs. wasn't cheeky about me driving myself in this condition and didn't want to be party pooper.

Would have been a bummer for sure.Quote:
