Well, the arm I broke last February, slipping on ice, finally quit hurting about six weeks ago; I thought it was a permanent condition. Workman's comp paid all medical expenses and some people told me I should sue my (then) employer--but as someone else said, "You would have to become a different person to do that." Have a good friend who hit his head yesterday, but did not go to a doctor till today; hoping for the best for him. Gravity is no joke! Except when it comes to EBAY.

Long ago and far away there was in the land of the Samurai a powerful emperor who needed a new Chief Samurai, so he sent a declaration throughout the land that he was searching for the best one. A year passed, and only three people showed up for the trials: a Japanese Samurai, a Chinese Samurai, and a Jewish Samurai. The emperor asked the Japanese Samurai to demonstrate why he should be the chief Samurai. The Japanese Samurai opened a match box, and out flew a bumblebee. Whoosh! went his razor sharp sword, and the bumblebee dropped dead on the ground in two pieces. The emperor exclaimed: "This is impressive!" The emperor then issued the same challenge to the Chinese Samurai; for him to demonstrate why he should be chosen. The Chinese Samurai also opened a match box, and out buzzed a fly. Whoosh, Whoosh! went his great flashing sword, and the fly dropped dead on the ground - in four small pieces. The emperor exclaimed in awe: "That is really VERY impressive!" Now the emperor turned to the Jewish Samurai, and asked him also to step forward and demonstrate why he should be the head Samurai. The Jewish Samurai also opened a match box, and out flew a small gnat. His lightning quick sword went Whooooosh! Whooooosh! Whoooosh! but the tiny gnat was still alive and flying around. The emperor, obviously very disappointed in this display, said: "I see you are not up to the task, for the gnat is not dead." The Jewish Samurai merely smiled and said: "Circumcision is not meant to kill."
