That's you struck off the will!
Well just had an illegal immigrant walk into the office - look around say "salad?" shake his head and walk out!
I think he was looking the salad packing place a few doors down.

Do they wear badges now?

This fella wouldn't have been any more obvious if he was wearing one!

Bloody illegal immigrants! Coming over hear and stealing our low paid jobs!

"Salad"? They take the piss, don't they? 
Thanks everyone for all the well wishes for Aynsley. She was riding on one of those little kid 4 wheeler atv kind of things and decided to take a different route than what she's supposed to. She ran the toy up on a rock and fell off. She stuck her left arm out to break her fall and now has a nasty break just above her elbow. We go see a surgeon today because they think that she will probably need at least a couple pins to get it to heal correctly. Wish us luck...
Ow ow ow!
Good luck.
She can probably choose a cool coloured cast! Look on the bright side... :/
Coloured casts are not usually available when the plaster is put on in the operating theatre (which it will be if she needs K-wires ("pins")).

Eeep! Hope she's mended soon.

Perhaps in America they do it...?
I've just had some bloke ring up swearing at me -
He thought I was a baliff coming to pick up his car!

The cast she's wearing now is white fiberglass (all that was available in the ER at the time). They are really leaning toward surgery with at least 2 pins put in. 
She's so brave though. My oldest would've been crying like a baby if it were him.
Is it just the radius (or the ulnar as well) that's fractured?
