This starts out sounding like a joke, but it's not.
So, a guy's leg is amputated after an accident. After the operation, the doctor asks him what to do with it.
"What do you usually do?" the man asks.
"Well, normally, we cremate amputated limbs."
"Can I have it?"
The doctor scratches his head, thinks a moment and says, "Okay. Even though we're probably violating a few federal laws I don't see why not."
So the guy takes his leg home and stores it in his smoker, which presumably he never intended to again use to prepare food for consumption. Maybe he even smokes it to preserve it.
Now the story gets really strange...
The man's belongings get put into storage and when he doesn't pay the bill the storage company auctions his belongings off, including the smoker with the leg still inside.
The man that purchased the smoker gets it home, finds the leg, thinks "Holy shit, there's a leg in my smoker!"
What would you do, dear reader?
The buyer starts charging the neighborhood kids money to see the leg. When contacted by the leg's original owner, he refuses to part with it until the guy pays him for it.
