Talk about one of the dumbest things I’ve ever done to myself.

Last night we had corn on the cob with dinner and I was enjoying the heck out of it. I have always used those little plastic ears of corn to hold onto while I eat. Well, I must have been digging in a little too enthusiastically or my mechanical skills are deteriorating, but one of those little skewers slid right out of the cob and stuck into my cheek. My husband looked up and said, “That’s why I never use those things.” Thanks for the sympathy, honey.

So, today I look like a small snake had a go at my face last night. Brother.

That's not dumb. In my world that was an accident. Dumb is when you hear, "Hey Bubba, watch this" as he proceeds to jump off a cliff or shoot himself in the foot.

Redneck's last words, "Hold my damn beer. Hey, ya'll watch this....."

Ann: My sympathies. Just be thankful you were not having shish-ke-bobs last night. Or marshmallows roasted on coat-hangers. You might check with Home Depot if you have one. They are always having classes on how to do certain things around the house.

My boss walked into my office about fifteen minutes ago and, without saying a word, picked up my stapler and letter opener and left again.

I think the word is getting around.

No offense, but that is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

(What your boss did, not your little episode).

Anne, I've done some serious damage to myself and have had a few domestic violence screenings done at the local clinic. Let's see, there was the sliced fingertip while washing food processor blade - yee-ouch!x:'( I got stiches. Sliced finger tip while slicing a bagel. Decided to forego the stiches. Ran full speed ahead in to a street sign in front of my house, causing a mild concussion and a nice big egg on my forehead and fat lip. I used to always shut my bedroom door out of habit so the dog would not jump in my bed if I got up and one night, after a midnight trip to the bathroom, I forgot the door was closed and BAM walked right into the closed door. No concussion that time but after having had a seizure as a child I did not go back to sleep. x:-( I have various scars on my legs from walking into things, I sometimes just don't pay attention. I am famous for leaving cabinet doors open and whacking my head on the corners. #-o But somehow, through it all, I manage to walk to work every day in three inch heels and make it in one piece! :DD

It is indeed God's gift to the rest of us that you do not drive. x:-)

rad · May 2004

Believe me, Don, I agree. x:-) I often wonder if that seizure I had as a child did something to my coordination and depth perception. :-S

Don D · May 2004

I'll be glad to help you work through that issue. Bring your checkbook.

In the dictionary under "slapstick humor" it says, "See Rad." x;-)

rad · May 2004

Oh, Lordy, its not easy being me! x:-) But I can laugh at myself (between tears of pain) about my various mishaps.

Anne, you're really brave to admit your little accident. Especially to this crowd.

But it sounds like something my daughter would do...she was the klutz and daredevil. She always had to try it herself since mom's were supposed to say stuff like "be careful" and "SuperMan really doesn't fly". Yes, we've held hands through many stitches...

Her car looks like a reject from a demolition derby but thank God she's still in one piece!
