Stupidest thing you've done?

[unionrdr]

I ain't tellin' the stupidest thing I ever did. That's between me & God. But one time, in PA, we were bored one weekend fartin' around up on the hill behind the house. We had 114 acres btw. So we found these hollow reeds & some plastic. Well, we decided to build a fire to melt the plastic & get it inside the hollow reeds. It was coming along pretty well,...then I decided to peek in the other end to see if it was running far enough through. Then, all of a sudden...BLOOT! It shot it's load against my left temple. Now I know how women feel. (way ta go, hawkeye!). It burned like all hell for several minutes. My brother eventually had to use his pocket knife to shave it off the side of my face. I still have a dark spot there that can be seen today. I now try to remember Robin Williams...I WILL NOT DO STUPID SHIZ FOR NO REASON! I WILL NOT DO STUPID SHIZ FOR NO REASON! I WILL NOT DO STUPID SHIZ FOR NO REASON!...

Got waaaaay too drunk and did some cartwheels face first into a cinder block wall and shattered my nose. The tip of my nose was literally hanging off of my face. Thank god for a good surgeon who stitched my drunk ass up at 3 in the morning.

Didn't listen to you guys & save my books as they're written onto an external drive, memory stick, whatever. Well friends, today I got a notion to add to my cookbook, & guess what? Windows got rid of it, or otherwise lost it! The whole friggin' book! Lost the better part of two or three others as well in windows.old.xxx. Bloody 'ell! Well, I finally had to say F***it & look for that 16GB memstick I bought awhile back. I had to dig down into (my name)2/WTF?/Where the F?/ Who the F is dave/documents where?. FU2 To finally find where open office is saving my files too, instead of the current " my documents". So after saving them all to the memory stick, I sent copies to " my documents" (current) & checked to make sure they're there. Now if I could just tell that stupid open office to send them to what I like to call, " the right place"...!@#Q%()*#$%$#$%%$&$ besides the fact that @#$$&(&*)&%$%#, not to mention, !@@!$@%_)&*((&$$@#...

I've got a couple.

Middle School: We took a trip to the Festival of Nations at the Civic Center. After the event we were waiting outside for the bus and I saw that the access panel on one of the big flagpoles was open. I looked inside and saw the mechanism for raising and lowering the internal cables for the flags. There was a small mechanical catch. I pushed on it and the catch released before I realized what I was doing and I heard a "whirring" sound. I quickly turned around and casually stepped away from the flagpole and pretended that nothing had happened. About 1/4 of a second later I heard a rattle and a thud and I turned around to see a 20-30 pound counter-weight laying on the ground where I had just been standing.

College: My friend and I were hiking in what I remember to be Fall Creek Falls State Park . It was a dry year (summer of 1995) and the water level was down far enough that we could walk across the top of the falls (Cane Creek or Piney Creek Falls) from one side to the other. The sign on the falls said it was 85 or 95 feet high (memory is fuzzy). I decided to jump figuring that the cascading water had hollowed out the basin... yeah, I was a smart one. I psyched myself up and stepped - not jumped - off the waterfall. My foot caught and I spent the entire two breaths of time on the way down trying to get upright and get my feet together. I hit the water with my upper body slightly canted forward, my right arm slightly apart from my body and my feet slightly spread apart. I got a river water enema, a wrenched shoulder on my right side, and my upper body from belly to chin was red and sore. I didn't drown so Darwin was wrong.

Yet?


.... . I have done my fair share of stupid. Between whitewater rafting with a canoe and nothing, and other foolish adventures, surprised I made it this far.
