"What's the definition of irony?" a boy asked his mother.
After thinking for a moment, she replied: "Irony is when you're killed by an airbag."
The sage was my beloved Nurse Leslie, who'd been rather seriously wounded by an airbag not long before.
I was hobbled the day she told me that story, and when I repeated it to Dan, he observed that a wheelchair with a flat tire was pretty ironic too.

Who is Nurse Lesly?
I mean Leslie.
Leslie handles everything related to enteral (i.e., tube) feeding.
She's also a Jackal. Couldn't help herself; just got sucked in. You know how good the gays are at recruitment.
Everyone wants to be a Jackal because a Jackal is a wonderful thing to be much like a Tigger. Off to Mason fete in the hot city. Don't wait up!
