Xandria..I re-read your post...I don't know why I didn't laugh the first time but the second time I was laughing so hard I shed a tear...
Today in Charlotte, it is known as Meck Dec Day for the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. We attended b/c my husband is a decendant of the signers of this document. Anyyy-way.. we get to the old Settlers Cemetery and there is a hole in the grass. It is not visable due to the grass covering it making it look like solid ground. I twisted the (*(@E@#@! out of my left ankle as I went down. All the cousins ( who were decked out btw in Revolutionary period clothing) came to my aid. It was embarassing to fall flat on my face like that in front of all the media of curse (of Course).
Seeing as it was a wartime reinactment why didn't you yell...Jesus I've been shot, as you fell to the ground.
Then instead of looking embarrassed you could have pulled off a perfect performance..oh and if only you had some ketchup in your pocket to splatter all over your leg, then your husband could have quickly amputated it for realism and voila!
Whenever possible make mistakes like that look like they were intentional. One time I backed into a telephone pole at about 15mph in a parking lot, i think there was only one pole to hit in this huge parking lot and I found it.
This dufus watched as I backed up gathering speed and nailed that baby demolition derby style, it was exactly in my blindspot. I hit it so hard it broke two engine mounts in my car.
I felt like a stupid ass for not seeing it but even worse that this ahole stood there and watched me without saying a word, so I rolled down my window and yelled BULLSEYE and then asked him if I should do it again. He quickly walked away nervously and never even smiled, guess he figured I was nuts.
BTW my tongue is better, I hurt it doing push-ups!
