This week, in honor of the fact that I have been on crutches since Saturday (due to a severe sprain of my left ankle), I thought I’d do something different from a Caption Fun Comic. So, I present to you:
10 things that suck about crutches!
Stairs might as well be mountains!
Can’t sneak up on -anybody-.
Everyone asks, [...]
Well.
Some of you who haven’t known me very long, are completely unaware of my ability to hurt myself.
We’ve sort of touched on the fact that I am a FANTASTIC QC type person for software. Heck, I’ve broken things that people said were unbrokable. But I am also quite adept at finding myself at an ER [...]

“C’mere, I wanna show you something…”
“What? No. Leave me alone. Loser. Put me down!”
“I think you’ll like this…”

“Calm down… You’re really going to like this…” *picks up the dish scrubber and dislodges a moth from the wall who flies erratically [...]
