I remember as a child of some eight years old, laughing at the following silly joke.
“Mummy, why do I keep walking in circles?”
“Shut up, or I’ll nail your other foot to the floor.”
Maybe that primed me for this headline. I admit to feeling quite guilty after I was unable to stifle a giggle on reading this.
I’ll join you in the corner.
Having seen the (excellent) film, Best in Show, I too chuckle along.
It was recently on SA TV, I had the pleasure of introducing Beloved to this movie.
An absolute MUST-SEE, in the trueist sense of the word.
For some reason this made me think about not wanting to be the one legged man in the arse kicking contest:D
I wonder what Douglas Bader would have made of all this?

A quote from the man:
“Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”
I suspect he’d have made a pretty damn good unicyclist - legs or no legs.
