The Fates, they are chuckling

You know how I have a habit of accumulating crutches, though I've never broken a bone or sprained a muscle?
Example One
Example Two

My little sissy sprained or broke something today while running for a cab. At the hospital, they called around and said there were no crutches at pharmacies or hospitals in the Boston area. First of all, that's bizarre. Second of all, do you think the most ridiculously prepared scavenger in Boston had a single pair of crutches to spare? What a terrible brother. I need to start spelunking in dumpsters again.
