Speaking of embarrassing accidents, (which we weren't, but we are now) when I was in grade 7 I hurdled a tenis net in the time honoured winners tradition. Unfortunately my toe got hooked in the top of the net and I went crashing. The court happened to be made of bitumin. I skidded along on my elbow for a few centimetres, leaving copious amounts of skin and blood on the court, rolled and added my knee to the onslought and grazed the hip through the clothing for good measure. AND I hadn't even started playing! (Didn't get the chance to start after that. One quick doctors trip later.....)

I hit myself in the mouth while playing volleyball once, and cut my knuckles on the metal braces on my teeth. I was in the front row, and the ball was coming down toward the top of my head.

I was once in a school play where I had to be hustled offstage rapidly by a girl who was rather larger than I was. She was a little overenthusiastic (not nasty, just didn't know her own strength) and I slipped on the steps, fell, and caught the curtains for support.

I ended up dangling from the curtains in front of the school governors. Whoops...

So I went to the Chinese restaurant and this duck came up to me with a red rose and says, “Your eyes, they sparkle like diamonds”.

I said, “Waiter, I asked for a-ROMATIC duck....”

Some time ago when 24hours in a day really lasted 24 and not what they try to palm you off with now, my bathroom was filled with loofahs and buffpuffs and well I should have had shares in Boots, we went to stay with the in-laws and while enjoying a shower I spotted a conveniently handy sized body buffer type thing on the side of the bath, gave myself an enlivening once over, thought gosh this is a bit vicious and realised I'd rubbed myself down with a nylon bath scouring pad thing!

Yeah, but think of the exfoliating properties...

And if you've still got bad spots, I've got an orbital sander going spare...

thanks for the offer but I have a 'mouse' for detail sanding. Anyway I've long given up the quest for physical perfection and now just go out in the street and scare small children.

I know someone called Sander. He wasn't in orbit last time I looked...
