The Case of the Amputated Leg

As long as people walk this earth, there will be 'odd news' to read. And, of course, the minute you think you've heard it all, something even stranger will come along to make you shake your head. Such is the story of the amputated leg.

Following a plane crash that killed his father, a gentleman was forced to have one of his legs amputated above the knee. In a decision that boggles my mind, he decided to keep the leg, so that he could have it cremated with the rest of him when he died. Over the last 3 years, he has stored it in a variety of places, including inside a barbecue smoker that he had kept in a mini-storage unit.

When he fell on hard times and couldn't pay his bill, the storage company auctioned off the contents of his unit - including the barbecue smoker. The new owner, upon opening the smoker, found the wrapped leg. At first he thought it was a piece of driftwood, but when it oozed fluid onto his hand, he freaked out, called 911, and surrendered the leg to authorities.

Now, both men want the leg back. So much so, they have agreed to fly to Chicago and have Judge Mathis adjudicate the case on national TV. It certainly takes all kinds to make a world, doesn't it?
