Y'all're crackin' me up!

Now please don't be offended, cause I know it sucks to have painful incidents like that---I laugh because I'm okay with people laughin' with me about stuff like that, and hopefully y'all are too! lol

So now that I've laughed in your faces, I too must share.

Yeah Chris, this one time my sister and I were bikin' with some neighbor kids---a guy and a girl ("neighbor" meanin' "house you can actually see with the nekkid eye" out in the country), and the guy and I CRASHED into each other, front wheel to front wheel.

I actually saaaaaailed through the air and fell in a ditch (This was about 11 or 12 years ago, so I weighed even less than I do now), but thank God it didn't hurt---no tears or anything.

Then there was the time I slipped in my tap shoes while doin' a Charleston in a high school musical, and I hit the floor but so bounced right back up. (phew)

And just a few weeks ago I was walkin' in our local mall and tripped over the edge of one of those square palm tree-barrier things in the walkway and did this big, uncoordinated trip.

And lastly I guess I shall leave y'all with my most recent stumble, as I've regaled on other message boards...

I was workin' out at the gym one Sunday a few weeks ago and I saw this girl I used to work with on campus. I joined her on the treadmill beside her for my "wind-down", and we got to talkin'. She was goin' pretty fast, but me bein' a guy, I couldn't go a whole lot slower than she, cause that just wouldn't look very masculine (I'm not macho as it is, lol). Ha.

So I speed it up faster than I should and we get to talkin'. I turn my head to the right when I talk to her, and at one point I was too focused on my words and not on my feet, and they tripped me up and I did this big, goofy stumble and doubled over as I started to SHOOM down the length of the belt. Since I'm 6'6" I have long arms, and luckily I managed to fumble for and grab the bar up front and "run" my long legs back up to get back to normal.

Robin had a good laugh, and I quickly looked around to see if anyone else saw. I don't think they did---at least, I didn't hear any outbursts of laughter (thank you God, lol).

So that one kinda works as an embarrassing moment and an accident.

Yeesh...
