    So that's why the metal detector went off

    I've had a funny turn in my arm.

    This relates to a gentleman who found out that a pain in his arm was caused by a 7 inch long car part from an accident he'd had 51 years previously.

    Not exactly a small object and since he was a young man at the time of the original wreck you would have thought it would have been visible. Astonishing there wasn't a massive infection at the time too.

    Hell of a story though, should get him a few beers in his local

      Reading this gave me a great idea. I've just done a bit of home surgery and stuck a track rod arm from my old Ford Courier van into my *. Sure it will stop hurting soon and it's much cheaper than Viagra.

          "Seven inches long," Lang told Betty.

          "Oh, my God," Betty said.
