Legs of Steel

My boss is dropping me off in Heraklion so that I can get some things done in the city. He drops me off in stopped traffic right by the Minoan museum. I open the door, get out and turn to the back passenger door.

As I do this, a vespa with two grown men drive straight into my left leg. Instead of me falling, the vespa falls over and both men crash. The men start yelling at me - maybe rightfully so since we were still in traffic - and my boss yells back at them "malakas!!" Malakas is a common Greek insult that I won't translate so that I can keep my stories PG. Let's just say it gets used quite a bit in Greece when yelling at young men behaving stupidly.

I turn to my boss, stunned. "Did you see that?" He responds "My god, you must have legs of steel."

I must have, the crash didn't affect me in the least. I imagine it didn't hurt the guys too much either. Well, maybe their egos - just a little.
