Artificial Leg<\/b><\/p>\n
Alexander de Seversky, U. S. aviator and engineer, was once visiting a fellow flyer in the hospital. The young man had just lost his leg; de Seversky, who had had an artificial leg for some time, tried to cheer him up. \u201cThe loss of a leg is not so great a calamity,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you get hit on a wooden leg, it doesn\u2019t hurt a bit! Try it!\u201d The patient raised his walking stick and brought it down hard on de Seversky\u2019s leg. \u201cYou see,\u201d he said cheerfully. \u201cIf you hit an ordinary man like that, he\u2019d be in bed for five days!\u201d With that he left his friend and limped into the corridor, where he collapsed in excruciating pain. It seems the young man had struck de Seversky on his good leg!<\/p>\n
