Waving at girls costs Australian man his arm

Wow that was a long absence. In all fairness I thought it'd be okay to skip a few days due to not feeling all too well and our first wedding anniversary. That's right. ONE down, fifty or so to go. In retrospective it seemed like a piece of cake. Realistically? It was a piece of cake. It remains to be seen if you will catch me uttering this ten years from now but I am always up for a challenge.

As my last post was about a severed (and microwaved) hand I dug out this story. Okay I did not actually dig it out. We heard it on the radio in the car on our way to work this morning.

A twenty year old guy, who was a passenger in a pick up truck waved out of the car's window at two girls. The driver then took a right and ..well how do I say that delicately? There is no way. So here is what happened. The man's limb was struck and almost torn off by an oncoming four-wheel-drive. "His left arm was partially severed and doctors believe the limb may need to be amputated," police said.

Hmm I always found a subtle flirt more enticing than a full on confrontation. No pun intended.

I hope Jules will not lose her lunch over this and I promise to stop with the severed limbs stories (at least for a while).
