Fwd: HOW DID YOU BREAK YOUR ARM??

HOW DID YOU BREAK YOUR ARM??

Even if you aren't a skier, you'll be able to appreciate the humor of the
slopes as written by a New Orleans paper:

A friend just got back from a holiday skiing trip to Utah with the kind of
story that warms the cockles of anybody's heart.

Conditions were perfect...12 below, no feeling in the toes, basic numbness
all over...the "Tell me when we're having fun" kind of day.

One of the women in the group complained to her husband that she was in dire
need of a rest room. He told her not to worry, that he was sure there was
relief waiting at the top of the lift in the form of a powder room for
female skiers in distress. He was wrong, of course, and the pain did not go
away. If you've ever had nature hit its panic button in you, then you know
that a temperature of 12 below doesn't help matters. With time running
out, the woman weighed her options. Her husband, picking up on the intensity
of the pain, suggested that since she was wearing an all-white ski outfit,
she should go off in the woods and no one would even notice. He assured her,
"The white will provide more than adequate camouflage." So she headed for
the tree line, began lowering her ski pants and proceeded to do her thing.

If you've ever parked on the side of a slope, then you know there is a
right way and wrong way to set your skis so you don't move. Yup, you got
it!!! She had them positioned the wrong way. Steep slopes are not
forgiving...even during the most embarrassing moments. Without warning, the
woman found herself skiing backward, out-of-control, racing through the
trees...somehow missing all of them and onto another slope. Her derriere
and the reverse side were still bare, her pants down around her knees, and
she was picking up speed all the while. She continued backwards, totally
out-of-control, creating an unusual vista for the other skiers. The woman
skied back under the lift and finally collided violently with a pylon.

The bad news was that she broke her arm and was unable to pull up her ski
pants. At long last her husband arrived, putting an end to her nudie show,
then summoned the ski patrol. They transported her to a hospital. While in
the emergency room, a man with an obviously broken leg was put in the bed
next to hers. "So, how'd you break your leg?" she asked, making small talk.

It was the stupidest thing you ever saw," he said. "I was riding up this ski
lift and suddenly, I couldn't believe my eyes! There was this crazy woman
skiing backward, out-of-control, down the mountain, with her bare bottom
hanging out of her pants. I leaned over to get a better look and fell out
of the lift."

"So, how'd you break your arm?"
