Be Careful What You Wish For

I'm straight but I can certainly appreciate a beautiful woman. I saw the most exquisite young girl the other day. I was on a plane, and the pilot had just pulled the aircraft into the gate. Passengers were standing in the aisle waiting to get their things out of the overhead bins and it was then that I caught a glimpse of the gorgeous girl.

She was standing about five or six rows ahead of where I was. She was probably about 26 and fairly thin, with dark skin and shiny black hair and eyes. As she reached to get her tote from the overhead bin her shirt came up just enough to show off the lower part of her six-pack abs. I thought to myself "Damn, I wish I had her body!"

The girl was long gone by the time I got my bag out of the overhead bin - or so I thought. I was very surprised to see her as I stepped into the jetway. She was hobbling along slowly, walking on her very much turned-in right leg.

As my fully functioning, triathlon-medaling legs carried me past her, I thanked God right there for my healthy, working body.
