oooops, forgot that it was in the luggage and not a carry on.

Aha, methinks the missing link/leg has been located. See the thread "I think something is rotting in my attic".

Topping this for April Fools' Day!

No, it's not an April Fools' Day joke, but it just seemed appropriate fun for today. :D

The best travel-related April Fools joke was when the law firm I worked at sent out a memo explaining that all frequent flyer miles earned by anyone flying on firm business were "owned" by the firm, and that from that point on the firm's FF numbers for each airline had to be used when making any travel reservations.

People went crazy, totally pissed off everyone, until they realized it was April 1.

emd3, I read somewhere that is actually true in a few countries but I don't recall which ones. I hope the idea doesn't catch on.

This is an all-time fave thread, thanks for topping, mich.

Wait just one minute. It is not right to make fun of the handicapped no matter what the date is.

Sobster! who's making fun? we are sobbing with her! can't you see us laughing with tears running?

It wasn't her hand that went missing, sobster.

This post is a "LEGend"!!! ooh... I still got it! snap

You know, if this was about an arm, I'd find it really humerus.

But this is the stand-ard, run of the mill leg story. I guess femoral of the story is that when your leg disappears, you shouldn't let your imagination run off with it.

I just don't understand all you Fodor's travelers. Doesn't everyone travel with a spare leg?

its a good thing the family was well heeled...

Can I get a foot in the door here please??

I love this post, I wish they were all this funny.

When ZZTop sings about dear Auntie Lu they say:

"She's Got LEG, and She Knows How to Use IT!"

And then there's Robert Klein's theme song, "I Cant Stop My Leg". Coincidence? I think not!.

I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith.

Really! What's the name of his other leg?

They found the leg, maybe not "the" leg, but a leg at sea.

What a relief! I wonder if they will find Elvira next...:-?

I understand that after a while on a boat you get your sea legs.

I am so glad people are still keeping this leg in their thoughts and prayers.
