New I used to work with a guy who lost his arm
he had a fake arm, and he could type really well with just one hand. It was in a computer lab for a local community college. I'd go back there but they'd pay almost minimum wage and I am overqualified.

If you invite me to the wake, I'll rent a Long John Silver's costume or something. I wonder, will your leg be in Heaven waiting for the rest of you? I always wondered things like that, another question to pester the Pope with? :)

Losing a leg will not be that big a deal. Better than being a charred torso.

New Actually it was his left arm he lost
but I don't think it really mattered to him. He could do the job just as well as anyone could. He could even pull the paper off of the mainframe line printer without it ripping.
