US men battle over ownership of amputated leg

Both men are a bit strange.

Ooookaaaaaayyyyyy...

I really don\'t have any more to say, I\'m flabberghasted.

Wood is now up in arms over the leg the buyer of the barbecue wants to keep.

This cracked me up. Up in arms, but down a leg, eh.

 

[wiccanpony]

ewww.... I think if I opened a barbecue and found a dryed human leg I would have a screaming fit:drool::drool::drool:

 

[darthfoley]

I remember reading an article about the guy finding the leg a few weeks back.

For him to refuse to return it is ridiculous. And all for the purpose of making a few bucks. :moon:

 

[Roger Bunting]

The thing is he\'s charging for people to look at the barbecue, not the leg, as that\'s not there.

That quote made me laugh as well, Dave.

 

[darthfoley]

Yes, I understand that. The point is, he did not return the leg to the owner but gave it to a funeral home and is claiming (perhaps rightly, but still) ownership of it.

I mean \'finders keepers\' is fine when you\'re 7 and we\'re talking about a Hot Wheels car...but this? Come on.

 

[Roger Bunting]

I wasn\'t saying you didn\'t understand that, I was just making the point that he\'s not even actually using the leg he wants to keep, so why is he insisting on keeping it? Anyway, I\'d like to know just how many people are paying to look at the inside of a barbecue. I\'ve seen one before, it\'s not very interesting. lol

Well possession is 9/10th of the law, so he might not have a leg to stand on in court. (Sorry I had to.)

 

[Roger Bunting]

That\'s it, you\'re going on my list for that joke.

 

[darthfoley]

Yes, I can see you\'re getting a kick out of this.

 

[Roger Bunting]

You too, Mr. Foley.

 

[darthfoley]

Hey, when somebody starts the bad jokes I\'m always willing to run with it.

 

[Undave]

I think the guy has a leg-itimate claim and it would be a shame if it degenerated into a leg-al battle but I\'m unsure as to the current leg-islation surrounding the matter. The leg-ions of idiots wanting to look in this leg-endary barbecue could start a-leg-ations of fraud if he\'s not careful. Maybe the other guy could make a new one from Leg-o.

 

[Roger Bunting]

Don\'t try too hard to get on the list Undave, you\'ve been on it for ages.

 

[Swordwind]

Roll up! Roll up! Come see the mysteries of the wondrous empty box!

Seriously, who is going to pay 3 bucks for that?!!

 

[Dragonsreach]

Hop-eless.

 

[supervike]

It\'s ironic that the man\'s name is I. Lean.

 

[Zora]

Yes, I\'m sure the leg-al system has him running around in circles...until he puts his foot in his mouth.lol

He\'s just lucky the other guy didn\'t fire up the barbeque, or he\'d have to hot-foot it out of there!

 

[darthfoley]

See, you keep everybody here on their toes and it all goes to heck in a handbasket.
