Monty by Jim Meddick for July 06, 2023

Sadly, a few days ago, a woman had to have her leg amputated because it or her clothing got stuck in a moving sidewalk.

Kind of a break from “Florida man”, eh?

Is this the first time we’ve heard what state Monty lives in?

I’ll preempt the obvious “state of denial joke”.

Just a garden variety headline.

I never knew Monty lives in NJ, what exit does he live off of?

So many similarities to Bruce Springsteen. Not!

Wow! What a story! Gripping! {:-)

i like the one full leg/one short leg look. great for those days when you’re not sure of the weather.

Monty can now join the ranks of so many with wardrobe malfunctions, for example Michael Jackson had only one glove,now Monty has only one pant leg, if he could just moon walk.

On a down escalator around Halloween at the mall. Girl in ghost costume gets cloth stuck at bottom and mother trying to pull it out and a bunch of people trying to crowd her. I played defensive elbowing the people and moving up to give the mother room! No one pushed the off button either, just wanted to see the carnage. The mother succeeded thankfully. Later I saw there was an emergency button that no one bothered to press, it was at the top.

If I had to venture a guess, I would have picked Jersey.

No big issue. People nowadays unzip more than their pant legs.

It had to be New Jersey

stuck on an escalator/pants cuff is stuck, pants are going down…

You’d think a working escalator in a bus terminal would also be big news. :)

I guess we won’t be having any click-bait articles about firefighters having to amputate a leg…

A few of the bystanders fainted at the sight of Monty’s impossibly spindly leg.

Shoulda used Velcro. :)

Nobody suggested the true story from just last week about the woman in Thailand who had a leg amputated after getting it jammed in a moving walkway?

Hey! Half-pants Monty made the local TV newscast! Quite an achievement for our “hero”!
