Just a few minutes ago, I was jogging along the main road inhaling all of the noxious petrol fumes. I turned a corner and suddenly realised that there was a gaping hole ahead of me. I was jogging at such a high rate of speed that I couldn’t just stop, so I leapt across the hole and landed off balance. Seconds later, I found myself all contorted on the sidewalk. I went to get up, but my left knee gave way. So, as I attempted to dust myself off and hop up again, a lady in a nurses uniform came running towards me.
“Are you al’ight?” She enquired with empathy, whilst trying to catch her breath.
“Ah, no worries”, I responded, as she helped me up.
“Do you need to go to the hospital?”
“No Ma’am, I can manage, but thank you for the help.”
“Take care, sonny.”
“Will do, Ma’am”, I mumbled, as I hobbled away.
The town in which I reside is full of strife. Twice last week body parts turned up at the sheriff’s office. There are gun shootouts at least once a week. Regardless of all of that, the original people that settled this area are kind and cordial people. Hard working people to the core.

That sounds nasty, do take care.
Yeah, I heard my knee crunch, when I landed. Ouch!!!
Oooooohhh, I bet you’re feeling it now, ya poor thing. What put the hole there? Sounds pretty effin’ dangerous to me! Rest up, lad… hope th’aul knee gets better soon.
Sorry to hear it JD . . I usually do my falling over at weddings *hic*. You’re right, the world is full of good people doing good deads but they’re not newsworthy. Use alternate ice and heat a pack of frozen peas is a godsend for sore joints. (Trust me I come from a sporting family and always have knee pees in the freezer!)
this is a test to see if this effing website is working correctly!!!
