    tried to jump over a chain railing

    Well, my hands weren't in my pocket, but about 14 years ago I thought it was a great idea to try and jump over a chain that was stretched out about waist high between 2 poles. So I got up plenty of speed, took a leap, and my thigh slammed into the chain cutting my arc short and sending me head first into the sidewalk. I somehow managed to break my fall with my hands, but to this day my thigh muscle has a dent in it from this spark of genius. Needless to say, there was a good amount of beer involved.

    Your lucky, I've never seem someone come to a halt so abruptly. His nose seemed to have the qualities at impact of porridge, not the slightest hint of a bounce. He just lay there, spark out. I shouldn't laugh, but I did, for about a week actually

      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.

                I put oxygen and acetylene in a potato canon and ignited it with a welding striker. Evidently I am still alive or Heaven is overrated.

                    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.

                      As for the chain railing: Been there, done that. "Won't happen to me", I thought, "I can easily jump high enough". Yeah, and as things were, I can also jump "too early" very well. Asphalt sucks.

                      Sadly being none too tall myself i actually caused my friend to fall flat on his face as he tried that. Reason? I went under the chain... he goes over... Well yeah you can imagine how that worked out for him.
