In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for January 17, 2024

Walk it off!

Obviously too much gas collected around the knee and was ignited by the friction. Impermeable nylon uniforms can be quite hazardous in that way.

Especially after a lunch of beans.

Thanks. He kneeded an expert to tell him that.

Well, he does look like he might have been there when fire was discovered.

Blew out his knee.

Is the typo part of the joke, or just a typo?

I’ve heard sport announcers say “he runs like his hair is on fire” but this one is very figurative.

Inflammation!!

But we can still use you as a benchwarmer.

Inflamed patellar tendon. Ouch.

Too much icy-hot?

Hurting his knee is his tendon, see?

Either that or his wooden leg is on fire…

Well blow it out. Never mind, it’s already blown out.

“Injry”???

Looks like he (k)needs a little water on the knee

That’s how mine feels right now.

I blew my knee up 30 years ago. I finally had it replaced this week.
