Achilles Heel? More like Achilles ankle…

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

When they dipped that semi-god into the empowering water, are we really sure they didn’t have Achilles by the ankle, like really, how would you grab someone and hold them only by their heel, it just doesn’t make sense. I bet if you were able to go and check out stats as to what is more often injured, I bet the ankle is often injured 10 times more thn than heel. How many times have you heard “my heel hurts”… probably like once, and that was just that whiny little kid that no one liked in the first place, so you only half hear it, as you had become accustomed to tuning them out. Anyway, let’s just take a look at the ankle. One of the major joints of the body, that has to be able to hold up the entire weight of one’s self, and its the dinkiest little joint in the world. I think that somewhere along the evolution trail, they could have beefed up the ankle, even just the slightest, so poor saps like myself wouldn’t roll the damn thing on a yearly basis. And for those of you that haven’t had the pleasure of blowing a tire, congrats, I salute you and hope for your continuing conquest again “the roll”, as once you’ve done it once, you will be effed for life. Its like herpes (the gift that keeps on giving), it might be gone for awhile, but it will come back again, and again, and after awhile, you just learn to deal with it, maybe take it out on a few unlucky people, but hey, they’ll get over it.
