an old retired guy is the starter at Stoney Creek at Wintergreen. Yesterday the parking brake on a cart failed and it was rolling toward some kids who were there for a clinic. He tried to run along side it to stop it and somehow his foot got wedged under the brake and on the accelerator. The cart dragged him about 20 feet into some bushes where several sharp branches actually penetrated his leg. He had a bad case of road rash and some deep puncture wounds, so bad he had to spend the night in the hospital. Luckily the rescue squad at Wintergreen is 100 yds from the golf course so they got to him quickly but it was scary. I'll bet the old codger never figured he'd end up in the hospital from being a starter....go figure

would it have been different if he was a liberal socialist and the kids were illegal aliens?...just asking
Not at all. Why must you make everything political? I find physical humor the best. Would love for Ow! My Balls! to be a real show.

BTW - I fell off a picnic table last week in Arches Nat Park.....my family laughed for a solid 20 straight minutes. So did the people around us.

Not a drop of booze in me. It was one of those wheelchair accessible picnic tables where the bench doesn't go to the end of the table. I was real deep into a storytelling session and just whiffed.
