The artificial hip

Quite how he managed to afford the new artificial hip joint was beyond me. He often had barely more than a few pennies to rub together at the best of times. The question now, I suppose, was not how he had obtained it but why? You see, he had no use for it. His hips were fine. It would now use up valuable storage space in the old Robin Reliant he called home. He would have been better off investing in a hat.
