Bones heal, chicks dig scars

Owning this lunch box was cool

The author of this quote- Evil Knievel, died 11 years ago at the age of 69. Famous for his successful and unsuccessful motorbike stunts, he entertained many of us in the 1970s.

I remember setting up ramps and jumping over model cars to be like him with friends.

The full quote is

“Bones heal, chicks dig scars, pain is temporary, glory is forever.

This was paraphrased in The Simpsons episode Bart the Daredevil when Captain Lance Murdoch tells Bart:

“Bones heal, chicks dig scars, and America has the best Doctor to Daredevil ratio in the world.”

Knievel really lived life on the edge, my son Jack seems to be following in his footsteps!
