I just got back from the bank. I go there to cash my tutorial checks, deposit some money, and purchase CDs since that is the safest investment for now, or at least until after the election.
My friend, Joe, the banker associate, and I have a nice relationship. Lately, we share stories: he of his 100 year old house and the money-pit it has become recently, and I of my grandson and my unforgiving knee. When asked, “How did you tear your meniscus?” I responded truthfully, Sheba went to the left while I was going to the right.” He said I needed to come up with a better story, this meniscus is a good story line and I should milk it for all it’s worth. So, here are some of my stories as to how I tore my meniscus…
10. I tore my meniscus while walking the dog.
9. I tore my meniscus while stepping off a curb.
8. I tore my meniscus while hailing a cab.
7. I tore my meniscus while rallying for Obama (oops, political statement here, tsk, tsk).
6. I tore my meniscus while yelling at the TV when Palin exploited special needs children and their parents by saying we will have a friend in the White House.
5. I tore my meniscus while speaking passionately on the phone to my friends about Palin and her guise to win over the woman’s vote by comparing herself to a pit-bull.
4. I tore my meniscus while speeding to my daughter’s house on a false alarm call that she was in labor.
3. I tore my meniscus while discussing politics with my boyfriend (gals, this is a no-no; just stay quiet and/or agree with the lad…it could be dangerous if you don’t).
2. I tore my meniscus while reading a sex magazine that promoted positions I never heard of.
…and the winner is…
1. I tore my meniscus while trying out a few of those positions.

This was a delight to read. I'm always a sucker for the one about tripping over any number of animals (my house)...(Hugs)Indigo
Karen, nicely done! I hope some of these work so you can "milk it!"

How about when you were napping - you could introduce a whole bunch of options from your alternative world :o)
OK, my daughter tore her miniscus playing soccer!!!! I didn't know you could tear if walking off the curb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That must've been one hell of a curb!!!
Are you having surgery? Can it be repaired or does part of it need to be removed?
((hugs))

Well it looks as if you have all excuses covered. Might as well milk it if you can. Paula
You are a hoot. Vivid imagination too. LOL.
Hugs, Joyce
LOL; these were all cute ones; I liked #4 the best; that's the one I would stick with; one that would get a lot of "oohs and ahhs" :)
betty
I don't know what a meniscus is but if you tore it for the above metioned political reasons then it was a worthy sacrifice. D
I loved all your explanations... I liked number three the best....hugs, Christine
