Bumbling, yet endearing. Also lucky not to be a vegetable.

Let me first say that I like Lee Corso more than most people seem to. However, even after a potentially life-threatening ordeal, he finds a way to lapse into hackneyed self-parody.

Corso issued a statement in which he called the stroke a "small bump in the road" and a "not so fast, my friend, in my game of life" -- a play on one of his more well-known quips.

Or is it that after potentially life-threatening ordeals people are most likely to whore themselves out to trite-nicities? I can never remember.
