In May 2004, he was badly grazed after falling off his mountain bike during a ride at his Texas ranch and, in June 2003, he fell off his hi-tech Segway scooter.
In January 2002, he grazed his cheek after choking on a pretzel and fainting.

Tell us something.: A long time chatty Chiffer but have been absent for almost two decades. Returned in 2022 and still recognize some names! I also play anglo concertina now.

What is it with all these grazes? It's the only description they ever use. Makes it sound like he's been attacked by herbivores.
Chance would be a fine thing. Can we make it a rampaging herd of 100 mad bull elephants in a very confined space?

... given that he hails from Oil and Cattle country, grazes seems an adequate descrition of his injuries... and being that he is a deeply religeous man... Amazing Grazes....
Oh, my goodness! What in the world??! You wish he had DIED?! I thought liberals were supposed to be against violence and hate.

So lamenting the fact that our president DIDN'T die is humorous. That's interesting. Even through the crazy days of the Clinton impeachment, I don't recall anyone joking about how it's too bad the president didn't die. Okay I take that back; I did hear one guy saying that, but he was an extreme right-wing nutjob.

Gary just said, "So close to a Darwin Award." Though often the case, Darwin Awards are not necessarily given only to those who die stupidly. They're given to those who, in a stupid fashion, remove their capability to reproduce (i.e., can no longer contribute to the gene pool). For a man, a hard enough hit astraddle a bike bar could do that...

Can't believe I'm the first one to say it. HE WAS DRUNK!!!
GWB has a long history of alcohol abuse. It was one of the things that got him into trouble with the Air National Guard. He was arrested for DUI and had his driving licence taken away. The LoneGunman website had a great video clip of him drunk at a friend's wedding in 1992 when he was supposed to have been on the wagon since 1987. Choking on a prezel, indeed. What do we normally drink when we're eating prezels? Beer, for God's sake.
Besides, you honestly think he'd be in Scotland, home of the world's best whisky, and not be drunk?

Blimey, if this is a poststructural pub this must be gettin' near to a poststructural punch-up near poststructural closing time!
