A Bone in the Tire

[n2ize]

I remember when I was a kid my folks drove to my grandpa's house in the South Bronx for a visit. On the way, a few blocks from the house we got a flat. later that evening we pulled of the punctured tire, put on the spare and my uncle pulled the object from the tire that punctured it. In his hand he held a jagged edged 4 inch piece of bone and announced, "you got a bone punctured your tire". Now that was the weirdest flat I ever remember getting. To this date I still wonder if it was a piece of human bone. Anyone who was familiar with the South Bronx in those days understands, it could very possibly have been a piece of human bone.

I'm sure it has different names in different parts of the country. :rofl:

Did you get to keep the dog that was chewing on it?

Damn. When I heard the Easter Bunny was smashed, I thought he was doing some heavy drinking. The little bastid.

Buddy of mine once took a chicken to the radiator at speed. Beak punctured it.

Or perhaps a beef soup bone?
