- "Yes Mr. Bryan, and how did you break your leg?"
- "Shatter."
- "Sorry, how did you shatter your leg?"
- "I fell."
- "The MedEvac helicopter pilot noted that they had to fish you out of the
- freezing water of Big Elk Creek."
- "I fell into the creek."
- "The notes here say you fell down a 35 foot cliff and crushed your leg on an
- embankment."
- "How long do you think I'll be off the road?"
- "What's this about a twenty pound, seven foot long log you were carrying?"
- "That's my quarterstaff."
- "Mr. Bryan?"
- "You know, a quarterstaff."
- "Mr. Bryan, you fell over a cliff, hit an embankment, landed in freezing water,
- held on to your, uh, quarterstaff for over an hour to keep afloat, and were
- finally rescued by helicopter. Would you care to explain to me how all this
- happened?"
- "Sure, I tripped on a rock that was hidden under a leaf."
- "A rock?"
- "Under a leaf, how long will I be off the road?"
- *sigh*
- "Why were you out there running in the first place?"
- "Training."
- "Training for what, for God's sake?"
- "Valhalla."
- "Valhalla?"
- "Never mind..."
