I was at my local Rexall Drugstore shipping out a package from UPS when I went outside and walked around the corner, my left foot shot out from under me almost over my head. After regaining my balance, I looked back and there was a Banana peel on the sidewalk behind me with a skid-mark underneath it.
I was clearing a field with my dad years ago, and he hit a tin can with a beehive in it. It literally looked like a cartoon. The bees flew up in a swarm, over him, and attacked me. I’m sure the dance I did must have looked a little cartoonish too.
Watching Obama beat Romney. IT was surreal and nauseating. I thought I was dreaming. How could anyone be so stupid?
Thank goodness the cat was safe!
Went down a steep water slide over a decade ago for a world record wedgie.
In Cabo we were riding quadrunners in the sand by the beach. We got to an area where the sand was a trail and hard pack surrounded it. I got to a split in the trail and one wheel hit the hard pack in the middle. It flipped the quad-runner and it rolled on top of me.
There it sat, wheels spinning, upside down, with me under it. My brother is panicking. Then I pushed with both arms and legs and it flipped off me and landed on its side. I jumped up and said, “I’m ok” while hopping around.
I did get a minor burn on one calf from the exhaust.
Fortunately I’ve never needed to test the medical facilities in Mexico.
Today at the park I spelled my daughter’s name wrong in large outlined letters with chalk.
I was a passenger in a golf cart, going downhill, too fast, and the driver suddenly swerved left. I flew out, did two somersaults and landed on my feet running right next to the cart, so I jumped right back in as if it never happened.
The driver wet himself laughing so hard.
Bol! Yes, that was an extra added bonus. :)
A “priceless” Steinway?
Thanks, guys, I sure needed a good laugh!
I don’t know if this is cartoonish. But during the whole 1980’s I spent my life in a Van Halen video....
Got out of my car with an unstrung 55lb longbow. Heard the phone ringing and ran for the house. Tried to shift the bow to my right hand so I could open the door with me left. Somehow I lost my hold on it just before I was to pass between the two 4x4 posts that supported the awning. It’s ends caught the posts perfectly and it centered on my chest. I was launched backwards a good five feet and landed on my butt. I missed the call.
Well, I spent the late ‘60s/early ‘70s in a Cheech and Chong movie.
Went swimming in the ocean, came out covered in seaweed.
I spent a lot of time in the movie ‘Better Off Dead’, but Diane Franklin wasn’t there.
I rode my bike to school one soggy spring day. The bike rack was located at the bottom of a short, steep hill (you were supposed to approach it from the other side). But I went down the hill, aiming at the only open slot left. Caliper brakes don’t work very well when wet, and I couldn’t slow down. I hit the rack precisely in the empty slot, the bike stopped abruptly, I did not. I flipped over the handle bars, did a perfect mid air flip, and landed perfectly on my feet. One student saw me, so I did the only thing there was to do. I looked at him and said “Ta-Da” and calmly walked away.
I heard Acme got into the Piano Building business.
