The moral of the story is, if you lose a leg don't just call one airline, put out an all joints bulletin.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! When I first read this thread earlier today, I thought:

Is this for real????? (And of course, I chuckled my way through many of the puns..I mean, posts). But that Dahmer crack....that one got me. Total LOL, even ROFLMAO (to revive what seems to be a now archaic term).

When is Fodor's posting a book of all-time best threads-- (and wouldn't that be a great airplane read!) Anyway, this should lead the list.

nice to know this was leg-it.

If your aunt travels home via Dulles airport, tell her to give them all a kick in the ass for us.

She did not kneed all this aggravation. Just prothetic.

This is the funniest thread ever..but I think Tracy has been pulling everyone's leg.

Now that Lu has her leg back, she can try out for Amazing Race....I hope she's not caught in an elimination LEG ... Lookout Charla...here comes LU!

I'm glad Aunt Lu got her leg back.

But I'm left with P M's legacy and found myself humming ZZ Top's "She's got legs...." all day today.

and so starts a new urban leg-end.
Speaking of Jeffrey Dahmer, some years ago he had his mother over for lunch and she said "you know Jeffrey, I don't care too much for your friends." Jeffrey replied, "Then just eat the salad"

If only that leg could talk!! I wonder what it would say of it's adventure? Maybe it went to Leg-O Land? :-?

I've been singing the golden oldie..

Leg of my Heart...I love you...we'll never part...I'll wear you... sweet little limb... we're together again...I promise that i'll never check you... or let them scan your special left shoe...

everybody sing!!!!

Dwooddon, about those leg-ends you mentioned...hopefully Tracy's Aunt's artificial leg fits, otherwise this will become
"Leg-ends of the Fall" Part Toe.
To those failing to sympathize with Tracy's predicament: what a bunch of heels!
My prayer for the leg: Oh airlines, heel thy evil ways!

So my hairdresser's assistant has a prosthetic leg.

We threw a fund raiser a couple of years ago to purchase a new leg for him.

We called the party;

Lend a Hand to Buy a Leg For Fred

Heelalujah! Finally this ordheel is over.

Careful though, that bag was scanned so much it must be radioactive by now.
Auntie has some good sole to thank for this adventure.

Putting something valuable in your luggage is such a GAM-ble.

Geez! What some people will do for just a little more leg room.

Oh, that whole thread was quite a legwork!

Now that Lu has her leg, I think she should make a claim and try to get some kind of compensation from the airlines. I really don't think they have a leg to stand on.

She should claim leg-itimate compensation! Anybody here can give her a leg-al advice?

Heehee, Fainia, that was a good one!

We've needed fun . . . thank for goodness for this leg-endary thread!

ok, on the news was just a report on unclaimedbaggage.com where you can buy unclaimed items and they even have a free standing store.....maybe some people actually end up paying to get their own items back....
