Your Quip Has No Leg To Stand On

(My mother-in-law was talking about a man who by doctors’ opinions should have been dead twenty years earlier.)

Mother-In-Law: “His doctors said he wouldn’t live to see his children, but now he has grandkids. It’s amazing!”

Me: “Yeah, he should be dead but he’s still kickin'”

Mother-In-Law: “Well… not really.”

Husband: “Yeah, he doesn’t have any legs.”

(I burst out laughing from my choice of words.)

Me: “Well then, he’s still punching!”
