 When Luke began bobbing and weaving on his bike, our police escort thought Luke might have had a nip or two for breakfast. For some reason he didn’t believe that Luke gave a real urine sample when it turned out blue. The princess didn’t believe it either. Joe pressed him for jail time.
|
 After a daunting 0.6-mile ride today, AJ parks her trusty stallion Bullet at the local hitching post.
|
 Luke and Bill practice slipping watches off the wrists of unsuspecting HealthSouth employees and patrons.
|
The princess begins her no-legged hot pink flapping flamingo dance by making sure her pants won’t fall down.
|
 Sasquatch Bill is seen here with an unidentified individual showing off how ABSOLUTELY fabulous it is to wear spandex with hairy legs.
|
 Luke belts out an earsplitting chorus of Ave Maria after being shot in the behind with cold water courtesy of Jim DeLong (AAA veteran ’03 and ’05).
|
 Today’s crowd was brimming in exhilaration after Joe’s puppet show. Regrettably, he wasn’t able to remove his hand from Bill’s behind and could only sign posters with one short sentence instead of a 10-page thesis.
|
 Kim Cummings (HealthSouth DMO), seen in the extreme left portion of the picture, is terribly impressed with Bill’s instructional discussion on how to make good shadow puppets.
|
 Polly grips her wheels in anticipation of needing a quick exit when she sees multiple water guns whipped out in the room.
|
 Joe poses for a picture with Don, a bilateral below-knee amputee, before challenging him to a game of Beanball Cornhole using the princess’ Elvis leg.
|
 Michelle tries to barter with AJ. She wanted to trade her slurpee for AJ’s feathery tiara. Due to the severe liquid deficient diet imposed by Joe, AJ was all for it until she realized that the slurpee was empty.
|
 Antwon laughs at Bill when he says he’s just a little vertically challenged. At least he’s still taller than Abel and waaaaaaaaaay bigger than Joe.
|
 A patient seems a bit untrusting of Bill after she saw him snatch one watch and lie about his vertical aptitude.
|
 Jim the Unlucky Leprechaun and debonair Irish person is shown here helping Polly with a Kentucky reel and Irish jig. In addition to posing as a wheelchair bound grandmother, Jim is a dance instructor at a local dance studio that specialized in amputees doing the bunny hop as well as hip hop. Jim is shown here with his hand in the proper position to assist Polly.
|
 AJ went from 5’-7” to 3’-6” in only 2 seconds. She then laughed nervously when she realized that it’d take a small army of uniformed men to facilitate her becoming vertical again. |
 Before our departure from the facility, Kim chases down Luke and nails him with a cool stream of water as a favor for Lorrie who was the victim of a previous HealthSouth water gun fiasco. |

Our hats off to Kim Cummings, the DMO, who put this visitation together in a matter of days and did a superb job. We owe her our thanks for the prodigious job she did. Thanks also to Michael Zuliani, the CEO, and to the entire staff who bore up well after the onslaught of Joe's traveling circus. The patients were great and hopefully we did not interfere too much in your daily routines. Thanks one and all for your generous support, your raffle, and your smiling faces.
