I cracked the heel on my left foot, broke a toe on my right foot, and tonight I have to hop (no larf intended) on a plane to Halifax to attend a family reunion.
The worst thing? I’m stuck ponying-up for the ‘refreshments’ for the reunion. —Fool on the Hill

I’d pull the no show. Why should you have to pay for the refreshments? Whatever happened to BYOB?
I think I missed something…did you agree to pay for the refreshments? I don’t see how someone else could MAKE you pay for them. What does an injury have to do with not paying for them either?
I could see if you had broke your right hand & screwed up your left so it didn’t work, & that would affect your ability to hold a drink etc…but then again there are always straws to get around that.
You’ve got sore feet, drink while sitting down.
You’re welcome in advance for that great bit of advice & the best part of sitting for a klutz like you is… if you get too drunk its not so far to the floor if you fall over !
What does breaking your foot have to do with paying for the refreshments?
Read between the lines. They have no hands so they have to open their wallet with their toes.
