To be an urban legend it would be someone I know who said he heard of
someone.
This is someone I know, talking about himself.
He's the husband of a friend of my girlfriend.
So I don't know him really well enough to tell for sure.
But, he was definitely in the army.
He might be lying I suppose.
His wife was present and she's DEFINITELY the sort would jump right in and
say he was a liar if she knew he was.
<shrug>
He didn't exactly seem cut up about it.
There again it's like 12, 13 years or something.
Her name's Brenda and her husband I think is John.
I was never too good on names.
Anyhow.
About 6 months ago we were at Brenda's 50th birthday party.
John had something wrong with his ankle was really giving him grief.
In turn, Brenda was also giving him grief.
She wanted him to get up, socialise and dance with her.
Rather than sit there rubbing his badly inflamed ankle.
Next day he was so bad he had to go into hospital to have it seen to.
She's not quiet that Brenda.
