To paraphrase an old episode of Saturday Night
Live:
The
Adventures of Miles Cowperthwaite
with Michael Palin
Dr. Pierce: Well, Miles, I suspect you'll be strong enough
to go under the knife in a couple of days, huh?
Miles
Cowperthwaite: [ worried ] What?! What do you mean, Dr.
Pierce?!
Dr. Pierce: The legs, Miles. I'm afraid they'll
have to come off. Now, I've only got one pegleg aboard, but I can get you
a nice hook for the bottom of this left knee. As soon as we reach port, we'll go
shopping for a nice wooden one.
Miles Cowperthwaite: But, sir!
Must I lose my legs?
Dr. Pierce: I'm afriad so, Miles. When we
pulled you out of the water, your legs were.. soaking wet.

Subject: [RC] riding in the rain
Is it going to hurt my horse to ride in the rain if I have
a rump rug on her? It won't stop raining here and I am tired of
waiting. I'm also wondering, is it going to hurt me? Because it
seems like even when I have a raincoat on I still get pretty soaked. I
have heard that it is just an old wive's tale that weather can make you sick;
but then why do all the colds happen when the weather changes? And what
about working muscles getting wet?
