Break a leg!

The job of a friend of mine is to ride horses. She has competitions every weekend, and at each competition she rides seven horses.

A couple of months ago she had an accident during a competition: she fell before a hurdle. In the ambulance, she was trying to convince the nurses that she wanted to ride the last horse, but they did not let her go. The leg was broken and they brought her to the hospital.
There, after some time, they put her a plaster and then she was ready to go away: she was wearing the posh white shirt for competitions, the black jacket, one boot and...a thong. The trousers remained in the ambulance!
She then smuggled a piece of green-hospital sheet and used it as a pareo and went home by taxi.

No wonder I miss my friends when I'm away: they are quite entertaining.
