Thanks for the forward.

This happens to me everytime my bike misses a gear. The pedal let's go and I

am all over the handle bars again. One day I ran over a coke can. The can

compressed around the tire and ended up wedged between the front tire, the

fender and the forks. As I was on the way to the train, I decided to reach down

and pull the coke can out while on the move. This was not to be confused with a

" smooth move. " As I reached down to grasp the can it wedged in place thus bring

the front tire to a rapid, immediate and sudden stop. Alas, I had one hand on

the handle bar and one hand near the fork as my bike cycle acquired the digital

(on / off) , and no longer analog (slow and easy) braking action. My 46 year

old body continued to move forward as my bike could not keep up with me. Alas,

I nimbly, ensured my legs cleared the bucking bike frame and left the bike

behind me as I landed on my feet cussing the makers of Coaca Cola and Aluminum

Cans in general. A quick removal of this

aluminum braking component from my front tire and a remount quicky returned me

to the status of mobile americans. semper fi mac, kill the coke can. That's

what I am talking about.

-- Fw: My Husband's Accident

When the pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to

express Praise for answered prayers, a lady stood and walked to the podium.

She said, " I have a praise. two months ago, my husband Jim had a terrible bike

wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the

doctors didn't know if they could help him. "

You could hear an audible gasp from the men in the congregation as they

imagined the pain that poor Jim experienced.

She continued, " Jim was unable to hold me or the children and every move

caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate

operation. They were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Jim's

scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place. "

Again, the men in the congregation squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the

horrible surgery performed on Jim.

She continued, " Now, Jim is out of the hospital and the doctors say, with

time, his scrotum should recover completely. "

All the men sighed with relief.

The pastor rose and tentatively asked if any one else had anything to say.

A man rose, walked to the podium, and said, " I'm Jim, and I want to tell my

wife - once again - the word is STERNUM. "
