Out walking the other day,an old cyclist friend asked me why he hadn't seen me out riding lately. I told him that due to my ex broken hip and leg i might not ride again(seriously). He then said 'Oh,that's bad. If you're selling your bikes let me know,i might buy 2 of them'. Small consolation to having to give up cycling eh!
However,it reminded me of that old joke where a man wakes up after an operation,with the surgeon standing over him. "I have some good news and some bad news" said the surgeon to the patient. "Which do you want first"?
"The bad news first",replied the patient. "Sorry but i had to amputate both your legs",replied the surgeon."And the good news" asked the patient. "There's a bloke over there who wants to buy your slippers" replied the surgeon!
