Country Bumpkin' News

Today I watching the five o'clock news and found myself laughing at the content. The head story was about a home that caught on fire and, sadly, killed the two people inside. The woman was in her eighties and lived with her son who was missing a leg. The story ended with the news respondent telling how one of the few remaining pieces of the fire was the victim' prosthetic leg, which then flashes up on the screen, propped against the ashen front porch. I guess that's the kind of news that makes headlines in Kentucky. "As firefighters scoured the remains they found the 60 year old victim's prosthetic leg, detached but still in good condition..."
