Legs OR What We Watched During Dinner...

Watching "Bones" tonight over dinner. There's a scene where the forensic anthropologist examines a severed leg from an accident. Jessie looks at Dave and says, "Daddy, was that the leg from the bachelor party?" What happens in Vegas obviously doesn't STAY in Vegas...

Dave replied that all he ever said was that he had to find and return a leg. He didn't say anything about how the leg was lost, the circumstances under which losing a leg made perfect sense, or who (indeed) stole the leg. However he does assert that if HE had stolen the leg, it would have come back with rhinestones and ostrich feathers on it. No use being in Vegas if you can't pimp your gimp.
