Break a Leg

Jump:

Troy Stewart and his 10-year-old daughter Meagan were on their daily bike ride Monday evening when Stewart suggested they jump off a 15-foot bridge as a way of curing the girl's fear of heights.

Meagan made the jump into the Intracoastal Waterway safely, but her 31-year-old father ended up with a broken leg.

I fail to understand how jumping off a bridge can cure acrophobia.

"This is an example of what not to do as a parent," police Capt. Andy Rundle said. "And let this be a lesson to everybody: Somebody's tried it, and it's not a good idea."

Yes, daddy Rundle. We've learned better now, daddy Rundle. It's a good thing you gave us all this lesson, daddy Rundle, since we're all too stupid to figure it out for ourselves. I'm so glad we have such smart policemen like yourself around to keep us from accidentally hurting ourselves, daddy Rundle--you condescending dickhead.
