RE: When Life Demands A Lemon Tree Whilst Piffing Lemons At You

Sorry to hear about the hip. I remember bawling a few times when I suffered a herniated disc 25 years ago, with pain constantly shooting down my leg. I hope the ortho gets his finger out!

See these stories help me remember all things pass.

"gets his finger out* is one of my Dad's expressions. As in, pull your finger out. Something I never questioned until one day I wondered where the finger actually was.

Oh my goodness, it was also one of my father's expressions. He once sent an order for a Bazooka Joe T-shirt for my brother with a note saying, "get your finger out, I needed it yesterday". The Bazooka Joe people returned his cheque with a note saying....and I know this off by heart...'When you can communicate with us in a polite and reasonable manner, we will process your order. In the meantime, we are returning your cheque.'
