Coming up with a better story

Everyone keeps asking me how I broke my foot (a few have also asked me why, to which I respond that I thought it would be fun to hobble around on crutches for a while). Apparently, my story isn't good enough, so people have been suggesting alternate versions. I'm thinking of holding a contest at Liberty, and making dinner for the sailor who comes up with the best story. So far, suggestions have been:

• One of the crazy Italian drivers around here ran over my foot and crushed it
• I was chasing after and shooting at space monkeys, and because I was reloading my rifle, I didn't see the sidewalk pothole
• (my favorite) Some guy tried to mug me and I kick the @#$% out of him - my foot might be broken, but you should see the other guy!

Anyone want to suggest anything else? :-)

On another note, things at home are better with the cats - Sepp and Siggy don't look at me (or the crutches, rather) suspiciously and run away as I walk past. This whole ordeal is also helping to curb my midnight snacking habit of the past few months...
