Subject: RE: BS: Hospital Roommates**Got a Story???
When I was 14, I got hit by a car. Wasn't too serious, but kept me in the hospital for a few days while they x-rayed away and tried to figure out what to do. My roommate was a kid from some near town, I can't remember exactly where. He was out camping with his mother and stepfather, and for his trip, his real father had made him a gigantic sling shot that could shoot boulders (I'm not sure how it could, or how he loaded them, but this is the honest story the entire family gave me). I guess he just wasn't careful enough with one boulder as it feel on him. He had someone in his immeadiate family almost the entire time, and they were friendly people. I never actually got see what happened to him though. I'm still trying to picture a kid launching boulders with a giant slingshot, and just how that could possibly go wrong???
