You ever do something to hurt yourself in a way that's so stupid, it defies all laws of logic? This past weekend, the spousal unit and I were venturing out in her Explorer. I was getting in the passenger side, not really paying attention, when I flung open the door with the same approximate force used by the booster rockets on a space shuttle to get it into orbit! Problem is, about the same time the door reached optimum speed, my head happened to wander into the path of the on-coming freight train!

Now, I'm not really sure why I needed such force to open the door, maybe it's the fact that I'm working out & don't really realize that I've built myself into this massive hulk of man-flesh. Or maybe it's just the pure animalistic nature of men. Maybe I felt like I had to prove my manliness like a Bighorn sheep ramming another. Whatever the reason, I opened the door hard! Right on my head! Hurt a lot! But like I said, it was such a moment of absolute stupidity, all I could do was laugh.

Fortunately for me, I was able to avoid any spillage of my drink, which, for some reason seemed important at the time. It doesn't appear that I've suffered any lasting brain damage, but, really, who would know?
