I think it's because we have to use our imagination, whereas when it's ourselves we have all the reality to hand.<br /><br />Great story though.. how many of those little old ladies were charmed in by the thought of spending time with (male) firefighters LOL.<br /><br />Oh and thanks for the link!<br /><br />JXJuniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930937754917509956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451436470294091310.post-3296505560700234432010-10-20T04:05:50.573-04:002010-10-20T04:05:50.573-04:00I can picture that.

He asked where the injury was and started laughing when I told him my thumb. He was expecting me to say arm or leg or something you think of when you say skiing accident. LOL he didn't know me.Mustang Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302252270800805553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451436470294091310.post-24804193579052871982010-10-20T03:36:45.592-04:002010-10-20T03:36:45.592-04:00My brother got an injury bad enough to discharge h...My brother got an injury bad enough to discharge him from the military by falling at a boxing match. No he wasn't in the match. And come to think of it, they were going to discharge him anyway - but that sped things up. <br /><br />And I'll have to say that you're injury was definitely in the line of duty.M. A.

But I also understand why you say you did it in the line of duty as a firefighter. It sounds so much more noble than I messed up selling bingo tickets. On the flip side, I think the selling of the tickets would be just as noble.<br />Oh, and you say it is damned difficult to get up when I sit crossed legged on the floor, but I have that same problem and have never had surgery on my knee.
