Fair Warning: Stupid post ahead

Some people must be respected for their courage (read "lack of intelligence") in continuing to do what they love (read "the thing they were doing when they got injured) after losing their arm in an accident. Take the case of motorcycle racer Jack Baker. After an accident in which his arm was ripped from his body, Jack did not do what any normal (intelligent) person would do. No, no...he wanted to continue to race, so instead of taking the ripping of his limb from his body as a sign to take up a less dangerous sport...perhaps checkers or greased pig chasing or snorting exhaust fumes from a muffler in a closed garage....he went out, bought a couple of replacement prosthetic arms, 1 for racing and 1 for "normal use". No word yet on whether he found them at Good Will, the Salvation Army, or some other second hand store. The point is...he got them. And he used them.

And one day, while wearing his good racing arm instead of the inferior general use arm he went to his girlfriend's house. Now, I admit, I admire that he has the intestinal fortitude to maintain a social life. So he gets to her house, planning on being there maybe ten minutes, so he did what any other normal one armed bandit would do...he unattached his arm from...what, you thought I was going to say bike? No way dude! He left his arm hanging off the bike and unattached it from his body! and went strolling into his girlfriends house.

Speaking of one-armed bandits, now he really has but one arm after a bandit stole it right off the bike.

Dude, it is kind of hard to feel sorry for you...I am sure your girlfriend would much rather see you one-arming your way around. And since you don't live in the U.S., you might not have the right to your prosthetic...nowhere in the English Constitution does it give you the right to bear arms, so...there ya go...about 17 bad jokes in 1 post making fun of some poor sap who took a chance, went out on a limb...I have to hand it to him, he bears up well.

Did a replacement cost him an arm and a leg? (Yes, I would like a spanking.)
