    saved by the itch

    There was this man who lost one of his arms in an accident. He became
    very depressed because he had loved to play guitar and a lot of things
    that took two arms.

    One day he could not stand it anymore. He decided to commit suicide. He
    got on an elevator and went to the top of a tall building to jump off.


    He was standing on the ledge looking down and saw this man on the
    sidewalk below skipping along whistling and kicking up his heels. He
    looked closer and noticed this man didn't have any arms at all.

    He started thinking, what am I doing up here feeling sorry for myself, I
    still have one good arm to do things with. There goes a man with no arms
    skipping down the sidewalk happy and going on with his life.

    He hurried down and caught the man with no arms. He told him how glad he
    was to see him because he had lost one of his arms and felt ugly,
    useless and was going to kill himself. He thanked him again for saving
    his life and he now knew he could make it with one arm if that guy could
    do it with no arms.

    The man with no arms began dancing and whistling and kicking up his
    heels again.

    He asked "Why are you so happy anyway?"

    He said "I'm NOT happy, my ass itches."
    Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

    The title of the thread nearly made me steer clear of this
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
