Wait. I could’ve been famous?

Dang.

Good call locking the dogs out. If they’d caught you bending over, it would’ve been cold nose to the sphincter, you’d have shot forward, knocked yourself out against a bedside table or something, and then bled out after landing on glass. Five years later, Snopes.com or the Mythbusters would address the story.

What an amazingly on-topic photo you found for this post! (Oh, and I think we had the same electrician do our apartment.)

My mom managed to break her big toe once when she got out of the tub sans glasses and tried to kick a piece of fuzz off her foot. The lack of depth perception meant she kicked the wall trying.

Huh. Must be the same dick-brained asshole who wired my apartment. No overhead lighting in either of the bedrooms. Or the living room.

Also, it might be the hormones, but you nearly killed me with the “hauled two 45s out of my medicine cabinet” line.

Well that sounds like an adventure.

Interesting how chaos theory works, huh?

Mine was when a framed document fell from the wall straight down and instead of going to the floor it fucking did a half turn right before it hit the glass table encircling the floor lamp with the corner of the heavy wooden frame.

That sounds painful. At least you don’t do anything that requires you repeatedly striking your fingers against something after you’ve had shards of glass stabbed into their meat.

…wait…

Ow!

I pretty much don’t do ANYTHING without my glasses. I get tempted sometimes to wear them into the shower, if it weren’t for the fact that the water on them would render them useless anyway.

Very glad you came through it without too much damage. Hope you got your bad luck out of the way before your trip now!

The only scar I have on my body is actually from picking up a broken vodka bottle (aside from the pox one). I heal up well.

After I got myself cut up like that, my mom sold me an old Native American trick (Polish joke, pay it no mind): cloth damped with rubbing alcohol. Picks up glass like hell.

Eek! Glad you came through that. As I grow more blind each year, I’m keeping my glasses closer and closer. Bed night table now. lol.

And no more blood sacrifices. You have a trip coming.
