the numb stump was propped up with tape...or...once upon a time a young man came limping on a bloody stump up to the ice cream shop wanting a banana split, the curvy girl made one then said, "do you want some tape and gauze for that?", he said, "No, i would like a milk shake please", she said, "all that ice cream is gonna make your brain go numb", he said, "i don't want any more ice cream, just jump up and down"
