Humour Berserker

I am not usually klutz, but I made an exception today.

On the way back from running a few errands, I wiped out on my bike. The wheel got jammed in beside a railway track and I sailed ass over teakettle onto the ground. The groceries were unsquished, and my injuries very minor (just a bit of a scrape on hand and elbow), but I had to shake my head at my clumsiness.

The strangest bit was my reaction. Halfway to the ground, I clued in to just how much of a weirdo I am.

I was laughing the whole time I wiped out.

This isn't unprecedented. When I'm downhill skiing, I laugh every time I wipe out. While sparring, I've cackled after taking a particularly hard hit.

In one dream, I was in an airplane plummeting into the ocean, and I laughed and said "Whee!" the whole way to my death.

I guess pain is the punchline.

My question is -

While I know what an ass is, and I know you got quite a nice one, and I know what a tea kettle is, and I assume you've got a nice one, what were you doing riding your bike on errands with your tea kettle? You should leave your tea kettle home when you run errands. Instead of a bit of scrapes on your person, you could have seriously hurt your tea kettle.

Oh, and did you know your website is down?

It's not down, but its IP changed, and your nameserver may not have the up-to-date information quite yet. It should be fine soon, but you may need to use your browser's 'reload' or 'refresh'.

My mom and I both laugh hysterically when we're in pain. Sometimes the laughter is just a prelude to Big Time Screaming, but at first, yeah. Hyena City. Weirdos, unite!

I have a friend who has a sister who claps and cheers for her baby when she falls down or hurts herself so she will laugh instead of crying. Maybe you got cheered too.
