Being dumb and its drawbacks
-
Imagine the scene - you've been out for a few drinks (well, quite a bit more than a few) and you are on the late bus home. It's rolling to a stop and the doors have opened. You see a sign post and think to yourself "I know. I'll see if I can jump up and hit the post". At this stage, of course, you have entered Darwin Award candidacy and forgotten the basic laws of physics. Next thing you know, you're lying bleeding on the floor having travelled quite a distance face first. But the wonderful thing is you don't feel a thing until the alcohol wears off the following morning. Unfortunately, that isn't the most embarrassing incidence of my life (not even in the top 10) and all the others happened on one of my stag do's. I won't be sharing those.;P

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that being dumb can have serious drawbacks. No, I did not take up smoking again. Imagine you are sitting at your desk, and you want to stand up. You would roll back, then maybe place your hand on the desk and stand up. No problem.... but I messed that up. I put my hand on my thigh, rolled forward and stood up. Stood up hard (if you can say so). I have no idea why I did that. My hand is swelling up and hurts like hell. Yes, I am dumb enough to type with that hand. Have you ever done something similarly embarassing? And if you did, will you share it with us? Ouch.

Yeah, near me, they had to take down a giant Wonderbra advert from the side of the road because of the number of accidents it was causing

When I was a cheerleader in high school (feel free to laugh) a basketball player hit me, spun me around, and I fell in the bleachers. Since it was a playoff game it made the 10pm news.

I was walking down a slope, it was raining, it was a mud path with grass on the sides and I didn’t want to put my feet in the mud so I stepped on the grass …. *drrrrrrrr * ……. Next thing I know I’m sliding down the slope …… and this happened in front of a huge bunch of people …… does that count?!! ;p

Hmmm, things must have changed, cause I could swear that cheerleaders, basketball players, and bleachers used to be all intimately connected! :)

I had this old car, which was the Dodge version of the El Camino. I went to open the door, and pulled the car handle right off. I thought, "well ain't that a beatch." Went to the other side and also pulled that one off! (Thankfully I had a window open so I could open from the inside.) I apparently need to lay off the steroids.
