[at-l] Newlywed Hikers
Kahley, this is a small repayment.
Two hikers, friends for ages, finally break down and tie the knot. And
where do they choose to honeymoon, but on the trail. (Natch!)
Their first evening together as newlyweds comes, and they make a
leanto home for the night. As the gentleman takes off his boots and
socks, the woman looks over and notices his curled toes and blackened
toe nails.
"What on Earth happened to your toes?" she askes.
"Tolio," he responds.
"You mean 'Polio'" she askes?
"No," he says, "Tolio. All these years of heavy boots and stiff
downhills -- takes their toll."
He doffs his pants next, and she looks over and notices his knarly
knees, lumpy and misshapen.
"What on Earth happened to your knees?" she askes.
"Kneesles," he responds.
"You mean 'Measles'" she askes?
"No," he says, "Kneesles. All these years of heavy pack weights and
ferocious uphills -- takes their toll."
He drops off his underwear (coolmax), and moves to put on his
trail-pjs as the night breezes chill. She looks over...
"Let me guess," she says, "'Smallcox'?"
