still has to wait his turn though

Do you have your identification and insurance cards with you? Here, fill out these forms.

I think she gets the point…

“With your insurance policy, if you want that spear removed, you’ll have to get prior authorization. Sorry not sorry.”

Aww man, that’s gonna leave a mark!

What a piker!

It’s almost all the way through, just a little tug from the front, put a patch on it (to stop the gushing) and your on your way, that will be $649,999 + $1 for the patch.

Good timing, John. We just returned from a safari near Cape Town, South Africa. Fortunately for me, I was able to avoid becoming a pile of lion poop. I was also able to avoid being speared. Whew!

And the funny part is that he got it in the ‘Safari for the Stupid’ gift shop and the instructions clearly say, “Do NOT keep this item in your back pocket”.

That’s the spearit.

Then he finds out that he is out of network for insurance coverage.

There is no “safe” in safari, close, but no. – I stay away from “safeari’s”.

So, did he fly all the way home with that in him?

Cupid is a little early, isn’t he?

On the bright side Ed could spearhead the next family gathering!

This supposed to be funny?

It’s just a flesh wound

Ow.

Couldn’t resist could you, Cupid?
