ROFL! You're not the first person to say that to me and given my penchant for being somewhat shall we say, foolish when it comes to protecting myself you probably won't be the last.

I met my current GF of 3 years two days before I fell and broke my right hand clean off my arm. Our first date was three days later while my hand and arm were in a huge soft cast with my hand looking like the round end of a club.

This story gets better. We went out on our date and when I brought her home she'd forgotten her house keys and was locked out of her home. I stood there helplessly as my now GF climbed up on her roof to locate an open window to get in her home. She succeeeded. I asked her if she always left a window unlocked and she said she did. That was her way of getting into her home when she locked herself out, as she frequently did.

I asked her if she carried her car keys with her, she replied no but she always had her cellphone. Ah ha! So I suggested a blue tooth garage door opener with an app on her phone so she always had a safe way into her home. She agreed, we ordered it and three days later when it arrived I was the one who climbed the ladder (with her holding it) and installed it - one handed - with my left hand. She uses that bluetooth opener and app every day now and we've been together since.

We often laugh about our first date and my penchant for getting injured by doing something stupid. :-)

Kudos, that was close to genius.
