That is Mr. Graceful to you.

I was just reminded I am not as good as I once was but I am as good once as I ever was. Song stuck in my head now. Anyway, I was in my office getting ready to run errands. My office has drawing tables, reference tables, and various equipment for the drafting trade. My chair is a barstool height chair. I had put my foot up on the chair to tie my shoe. In the process of taking my foot down I some how got my shoe hung on the side of the chair and lost my balance. It was obvious I am headed for the floor and I reach for the only close by flat surface. This surface just happens to be a hinged top drawing table which folded under my weight as I crashed to the floor. The resulting flip of the drawing surface dumped everything on that surface to the floor on top of me except....wait for it...The full cup of coffee which was catapulted into the air spreading its wealth of stickiness on everything including the carpet. I also crashed into my plotter which I had to repair. I have now used my wetvac to suck up the coffee. Nothing like a pratfall to bring you back to earth literally.:clap

Usually when I feel an impending fall I just roll into it and figure less chance of breaking some part of me. No where to roll into in my office. It is a tight space.

thats funny
I have a high threshold for pain
I have fallen like that and cut my self in several places and get up like its nothing
not noticing that im bleeding like a stuck pig and wondering why everyone is looking at me in shock to my injuries

there was no way of me just rolling down those stairs LOL. i just tried to grab the railing and hope for the best. i consider myself lucky that i did not break anything LOL

Glad to hear you are ok Fred.

 

[AUFred]

At least I did not break my sense of humor. It is still warped though.

 

[jassilem]

Yikes sorry Fred.

 

[AUFred]

I am laughing about it. Not the first time I have crash landed. Actually one of my more graceful. I solid 7 on a scale of 10.

Hehe . I haven't hurt myself in a little while... now that I said that.. I surely have just jinxed myself... :24:

only when you call yourself a "Mr" about something does one learn the lesson, means you mastered the act...and do not want to repeat the process...

 

[AUFred]

As big as I am when I fall I am always afraid I am going to break an arm or wrist.
