A really stupid moment in time.......

[Poogie]

Every time I read some of these  stories it reminds me of something I've done. I went to pick up my daughter from school, she was in kindergarden at the time. I parked right in front, she came out and got in the truck. A little boy was just standing there crying his eyes out and no body came to help him, so I got out of the truck and shut the door and turned to walk away and something stopped me. I looked at my arm and followed it down to my finger in the door. This must of caused me to go into some kind of shock or something, I just stood there staring at my finger in the door, wondering why it was there. Finally I opened the door, a few seconds later the pain decided to give me a visit. I could also see some bone. The mother picked the crying boy up and went on her merry way. I ended up in the emergency room.
These eye stories reminded me of another one. Maybe I should just number them like Scott.    This just happened about a month ago. I went to pick up some roses, they were wrapped in cellophane, I opened the door, bumped the roses and the cellophane slipped across my eye and scratched it or cut it. Who knows, it hurt like hell. Can you believe this? I ended up tapeing it closed for the rest of the day. Okay, I'm done for now...

Eeeks! Okay, let's get back to something, perhaps painful, but painfully funny.

When I was 14, we lived in a farmhouse, just a cheap rental property until my father was able to find a home to buy. The air conditioning in the house was non-existant, but it was comfortable enough with just using box fans in the windows, of which I had one in the window next to which I slept (no you don't know where this is going).

Being summer, and the window screens being far from perfect, you would have to deal with occasional bugs that found their way in. Being that I was laying in bed (gutterminds), watching TV, it seems a particularly annoying moth was attracted to the TV, and was really bugging the hell out of me; if I could just catch it.

After a while of just ignoring it, it came to light on the bed cover itself. This became my chance, and cautiously, I took my opportunity to rid myself of this annoyance. I raised my fist and came down hard on the moth.

Although I did succeed in killing the moth, I should have been more attentive to the exact position where it had landed, as, being a guy, it became painfully obvious that I did not do myself any favors at that point as I was doubled up in pain, thinking what an idiot I was.

The very first car that I had lost power going up a hill and I managed to pull over in the grass on the side of the road.

My catalytic converter (or something) had gone out causing my engine to severely heat up. At least I think that's what happened.

Anyhoo, I had a really bad oil leak and there was burning/flaming oil dripping from my engine onto the grass.

Fearing that it would start a brush fire or something, I proceeded to push my car out in the middle of the street to get it out of the grass. Unfortunately, I forgot that I was on a hill.

I pushed my car, it rolled down the hill (thankfully no one was coming up at that time) and proceeded to cross lanes and smash into an enbankment.

I've never felt dumber in my entire life.  but that car was a piece of junk so it was fitting end for it!
