"Yes Mr. Bryan, and how did you break your leg?"
"Shatter."
"Sorry, how did you shatter your leg?"
"I fell."
"The MedEvac helicopter pilot noted that they had to fish you out of the
 freezing water of Big Elk Creek."
"I fell into the creek."
"The notes here say you fell down a 35 foot cliff and crushed your leg on an
 embankment."
"How long do you think I'll be off the road?"
"What's this about a twenty pound, seven foot long log you were carrying?"
"That's my quarterstaff."
"Mr. Bryan?"
"You know, a quarterstaff."
"Mr. Bryan, you fell over a cliff, hit an embankment, landed in freezing water,
 held on to your, uh, quarterstaff for over an hour to keep afloat, and were
 finally rescued by helicopter.  Would you care to explain to me how all this
 happened?"
"Sure, I tripped on a rock that was hidden under a leaf."
"A rock?"
"Under a leaf, how long will I be off the road?"
*sigh*
"Why were you out there running in the first place?"
"Training."
"Training for what, for God's sake?"
"Valhalla."
"Valhalla?"
"Never mind..."
