How in the world did he think about having a mustache tatoo put on his finger??? Must be the 20 year old mind.

Jodi...you look too young for a 20 year old son...must be that crazy sense of humor that keeps you looking so youthful!

Gemma too bad we couldn't get together over a drink, maybe it's good we can't I bet we would be kicked out for laughing too hard.

:crackup:  :crackup: It'd be SO funny! As long as you knew jokes about flatulance I'd be wetting myself (I'm sorry but I turn into a 5 year old where farts are concerned!!!).

Your son's finger is hilarious (see, sounds like a fart joke there!!)!! I have 2 but they're in hidden places - no where near as obvious!

Yep being around all boys fart jokes and locker room humor is so common here, at times it gets so bad I keep having to say , you guys realize I am a girl and a Mom. Our house is the place where all the kids come to hang out, it would be so lonely here if they didn't .

Marlys you are now my BFF for saying I look young,  I used an older picture of myself, I thinks thats like 3 years old now and it took over 100 to get the right one, I figure I am just never going to change it bear_grin .  Also I have learned to do a photoshop facelift on my pictures, it's amazing how easy it is to smooth out wrinkles and shave off that horrible double chin.  bear_whistle

My grandmother broke her arm off 20 years ago and even then they were able to reattach it with little permanant damage. Just don't touch her arm or you have to hear the whole story about how my grandfather drove her to the hospital while she carried her arm in her lap.  bear_wacko  She's wacko alright!

Jodi... you are a riot... so is your son, actually he's very clever! :crackup:

I just read on the BBC internet news site the croc was not killed , here is the story they had there.

After six hours of surgery, Chang Po-yu is said to be doing well and in a stable condition in hospital.

His attacker is one of a pair of Nile crocodiles kept at Shoushan zoo, in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung.

Nile crocodiles are known to be man-eaters, but are also listed as an endangered species.

New-found fame

The incident, which was dramatically caught on camera, occurred when Mr Chang had his arm through the crocodile's enclosure to administer the anaesthetic.

Believing the animal was successfully anesthetised, Mr Chang tried to remove the syringe, but the crocodile suddenly turned and bit off his left arm, holding it in its mouth.

As the vet was rushed to hospital, zoo employees tried to retrieve the severed arm by shooting two bullets at the crocodile's neck.

Although the bullets failed to penetrate the reptile's hide, the effect was enough to cause it to drop the arm.

"It probably was shocked, and opened its mouth to let go of the limb," zoo official Chen Po-tsun was quoted as saying.

After his operation, Mr Chang was seen on television waving and smiling to reporters from his hospital bed.

According to media reports, his girlfriend and mother seemed more worried than he was, with his friends voicing concern about how soon he would be able to play the piano.

As for the crocodile, it is also doing well. It has found fame as a result of the incident, attracting many visitors to its enclosure
