The DUMBEST thing you've ever done?? (that you'll admit to, lol)

[debilorrah]

I am going to avoid speaking of the stupidity of my youth and stick my un-hazy days. I love rocks. I always have my head down, and I have found some really cool ones. At work, we are building a new bus facility and I was at the job site walking around head down, with a pocket full of rock and I walked RIGHT into a fence post. That left a mark.

That would be interesting to behold. Too bad you weren't videotaping yourself.

For people like you, chainsaw manuals have a new rule: "Don't cut off the limb you are sitting on."

Would you believe I've had a lifetime of practicing stupid moves?

Watching our new truck sink in a pond is pretty much up there.
It was three days old...still smelled new when it sunk. Sort of stank
when it dried out.

The time my buddy was pulling me (and the pickup) back from the
frameshop...I was on the chain, freeway traffic and the steering wheel
popped off. Yeah, we were crashing my crashed truck.

Caught the back porch on fire the other day, playing with fireworks.

Riding a bull because I thought I could. Found out I'm not very good at it.
And, bulls are faster than me. They hurt when they hit.

As boys, we made a potbelly stove for our clubhouse. Do you know you have
to vent a stove? I do know. Blowed the roof off.

See? My kidnapping the girl that time didn't even make the top five most
stupid things I've done.

....I've had years of practice.


Spook....who never learns.

Spookwriter blowed the roof off the clubhouse. That beats trying to fly off the chicken coop.

Funny now, but that explosion dang near killed us.

Cutting a door in the side of a 55 gallon oil drum, filling it full
of coal and setting it on fire is not a real smart ideal?

No vent, and it WILL blow up.

Just moments after it turns a nice dull red from the heat.

I wasn't a real smart child.

My bought us all brand new suits one time to wear to the
family reunion. My was green.

The cousins and me got into a jumping-off-the-bridge-across
the-water-to-see-who-could-jump-the-farest-contest.

I lost. Into the water I went in my brand-spanking new suit.
All the way down.

I knowed I was going be in trouble when my Momma caught me.

So I ran off and hid in my uncles outhouse until my Momma got to
missing me. One of them cousins tattled, and I was right.

I was in trouble.


Water....

You all know I can't swim. Me and the cousins again...we were playing
in the creek. I stayed in the shallow part.

Ended up, I jumped on an innertube and the current caught me. I was
floating away. Screaming for my life. Dirty creek, couldn't see the bottom.
I wasn't getting off my innertube.

I was a goner for sure.

My cousin swam out to save my life.

When he got close, he stood up and walked to me. The water wasn't much
more that knee deep.

The sad part? I was 16 years old and taller than my cousin.

But he saved my life.



There is truely no limit to my stupidity.

I USUALLY have it down to an art. That was the first time I bumped into anything. I have tripped several times because some gem caught my eye, but a fence post??? Dang girl.
