One of the things he insisted on getting in the divorce that he was especially aggrieved about was "his" ladder and "his" rake.
(He never used either, preferring sitting on the couch, smoking weed and playing video games.)

Anyway, my sister gave him both, but we chuckled about our hopes he would fall off the ladder and onto the rake.

That is always the first tell, the person is posting on DU. They must be functioning.



I think you got us all. I also think you posted that joke just so you could use this infrequently used emoji. (ha)

Or the top?

I had a friend fall 35 feet off the roof of a house he was working on. Broke his cheekbone and both bones in his right forearm. He got metal hardware in both. It was kinda gruesome.

Six years ago, I fell off the back of a pickup truck and broke both bones in my lower leg. Got metal rods in both bones, wound up with arthritis in my ankle, messed-up circulation around the break, and still walk with a nasty limp.

Glad you're ok.

And, humor is very appreciated in our current state of the union.

But I fell off the rug.

...I wouldn't climb that ladder for a while!

for they are the same people you meet on the way down.”
