I once worked with a guy who had an accident and all we heard was that he broke his leg and would be away for a few weeks.
He came back after having two surgeries, a bunch of hardware placed in his leg and he had to roll around on one of those scooter devices.
“Omg man! What happened??”
“I tripped over my dog…”
“What kind of dog do you have?”
“A dachshund…”
“Well that will never work. You need to tell everyone that you were mauled by a bear, or fell out of a second story window saving a baby from a fire. Something cool.”

Makes me wonder if it would be a good idea to take down my “Hate has no home here” flag, that is prominently displayed in my yard.

We live in a very diverse neighborhood, and I’m happy to have this flag up. But I don’t need any billy-jackoffs coming around causing a fuss, or worse.

I checked, but Hallmark doesn’t have a card for this.
