16. I had to be ambulanced to the ER today

I badly dislocated my left ankle in a senior softball tournament (I'll be 63 next month). One of the nurses said "You really did a good job on your ankle."

She had an accent I misidentified at first, and I said "You British have an odd definition of the word 'good'."

She replied I"m not British, but I'll let you work it out."

It then dawned on me she was an Aussie, so my retort was "OK then, I did a fair dinkum job on my ankle."

She got a big kick out of that.
