Why I love living in the south.

It's because the people down here never cease to amuse me...

From WCNC: MAIDEN, N.C. -- A man who found an amputated leg in a barbeque smoker wants to get the leg back.

Shannon Whisnant will be meeting with John Wood in Maiden this afternoon to determine just who really owns the limb.

Wood originally lost his leg in a plane crash. He lost it again last week when the barbecue smoker he was storing the limb in was bought by Whisnant at a storage warehouse auction.

Wood is fighting to get the leg back so he can bury it. However, Whisnant said he wants the leg because he paid for the barbeque smoker with the body part inside.

At last check, the leg was being kept at a local funeral home.

Whisnant has already turned the smoker into a tourist attraction. The smoker is in a storage shed off Business 321 in Maiden where he’s charging $3 a peek for adults and $1 for kids.

my mom had an amputated leg - for real - when we were kids - one time she left it under the passengers seat in the car overnight - the next morning she went out to the thief/thiees were so freaked out by the leg - they ran off without the leg LOL
