    Default amputated leg

    Here,s a funny item from the P & P today, a man who after having his leg amputated had it put into storage so he could be buried with it and be a whole person on his death . It was put into storage but as he could not afford to keep up the payments it was bought by another guy who placed it with the police who in turn gave it to a funeral home. Now both men are trying to claim the leg back. What the hell would anyone want to buy an amputated human limb for begger,s belief. It,s a weird weird world all right.

    Some people buy unpaid storage on prospect, like a treasure hunt really. Sometimes they find valuable things and other times...

    I have the pleasure of knowing a fella, who unfortunately lost one lower leg in an industrial accident a few years ago...............

    The registration plate on his car is: C1 LEG

    ....you've gotta admire that!

    This is true, I knew a bloke who'd had half of his left ear bitten off in a fight.
    We called him 18 months.

    The guy that bought it probably thought he could resell it on ebay to somebody with one leg. It would help to make them look good if wearing shorts or a kilt.
