“Would you consider,” I began rather slowly, “an arm OR a leg?” 

There was a pause on the other and of the phone when I could tell she
was thinking. Whenever you get a government employee to think, watch 
out. I could hear the old wheels grinding and grinding. Finally, she 
said, “I think that would be acceptable. And, I'll even allow you to 
select either arm or leg. We like to work with people.” 

Now the burden was on me. I now owed the government an arm OR a leg and
I just had to select which one. I first considered my arms. In thinking 
about them, I use both of my arms although the left one less than the 
right one every day. What with writing and eating my arms are rather 
busy throughout the day. 

Then I considered my legs. I like my right leg and so the choice became
rather easy for me. Now, the United States government has at least one 
leg to stand on, thanks to Yours Truly. 

I have something greater to stand on. 

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,
and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage” (Galatians 5:1 
KJV). 

Jesus Christ trumps Uncle Sam when it comes to liberty.
