Saw this on CNN. You've GOT to be kidding me!!
TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- A Japanese biker failed to notice his leg had been severed below the knee when he hit a safety barrier, and rode on for 2 km (1.2 miles), leaving a friend to pick up the missing limb.
The 54-year-old office worker was out on his motorcycle with a group of friends in the city of Hamamatsu, west of Tokyo, on Monday, when he was unable to negotiate a curve in the road and bumped into the central barrier, the Mainichi Shimbun said.
He felt excruciating pain, but did not notice that his right leg was missing until he stopped at the next junction, the paper quoted local police as saying.
The man and his leg were taken to hospital, but the limb had been crushed in the collision, the paper said
Remember; no matter where you go, there you are.

So, what, he leaned to the right when he stopped, and did an Arty Johnson?

I thought I'd get some amusing responses, and I must say...

Man you guys are cruel... the poor Blastard will probly spend the rest of his life searching for the the great white barrier.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

At first I thought, "Wow, he's really going to be limited on Halloween costumes for the rest of his life." Then I thought, "Lucky dog! One pirate costume will last the rest of his life!"
