The joy of being on vacation

I just love being on vacation especially during working hours. Why? Because I can catch up on my trash tv. Today, I spend over half the day doing easy chores mixed in with watching all of the daytime court tv shows, family fued, and then Maury. Man there were some interesting people on tv today. The most memorable court tv case of the day was the lawsuit over a man’s amputated leg. Oh yes! You see the man with the amputated leg (knee down only) regained possession of his leg via the police after it was inadvertently auctioned off as part of a smoker - it was inside the smoker being “stored”. Well the guy who won the smoker wanted the leg back since it was “part” of the smoker and therefore his rightful property. Now I realize you maybe wondering a) what the heck is this leg, b) why was anyone trying to preserve it, and c) why would anyone want someone else’s leg. So I’ll answer as best as I can remember:
a) Apparently the poor guy was in an accident a few years ago and had to have his leg below the knee amputated. So the doctor helped preserve it for the guy. So yes it was flesh and bone (don’t worry there were no pics).
b) Well the guy was adamant about wanting to be cremated whole when the time came including this leg piece.
c) Because after the media got ahold of this story the guy was able to build a sort of tourist attraction where he made shirts with logos and was able to charge admission to see this “leg” and “smoker”. Well, without the leg he only had the smoker and it was only worth $3 for adults and $1 for children. Not quite the money maker he was imagining.

So at the end of the day, the man got to keep his own leg but had to pay the other guy $5k but I honestly can’t remember what for. Tomorrow should be another good day. It’s part two of who is my baby daddy on Maury (ie the results show). Can’t wait!
