Talk about dumb.I decided to take down pine garland and lights from my cathedral ceilings.I put the extension ladder up against the ceiling beam.When I got almost to the top the ladder started sliding down the beam and into the ceiling fan. I grabbed the fan and the ladder fell,leaving me hanging from the fan which I knew wouldnt hold my weight.I swung my body to the right,let go,and landed upside down on a loveseat,kinda.I now have a sore shoulder and ankle.Do you do things like this????

I'm so glad you are all right, but your description had me ROTFL! Golly, the images you conjured up!! And sorry to disappoint, jay-jay, but I don't do things like that (and live to tell). Take care of that shoulder and stay away from ladders and ceiling fans. I'm still LOLLOL!! Please don't come back later and tell us you have a broken bone, then all of us will feel guilty about cracking up!

I get it JayJay, you are auditioning to play me in that movie we talked about on the other thread!LOL AAA
Sounds like a normal day to me!! Hope you haven't torn a muscle, broken your nose! Some other things I've done, melted my hair in candles, got it all wound up in those round brushes, got stuck between the wall and the toilet for 6 hours, drove over a piece of concrete in fog and was stuck because none of the wheels were touching the ground, sat on the roof till the kids got back from the drive-in because I climbed up there to retrieve a kite, and the ladder fell. I could go on for hours, DH could have even more fun at my expense!!!LOL

Well....where do I start? Caught my hair on fire fixing a kerosene heater, Got my long hair tangled in a drill and almost put my eye out, took a wrong turn on what I thought was a road, but ended up being a real wide walkway and drove down a small set of stairs. Just kept on driving till I got to the road and was hoping nobody saw me...OMG, I could go on and on. Never told anybody about that last one (S)

Here's a good one. My friend got stuck in his woodstove. He is very thinly built and stuck his upper body in the cold stove in order to do WHAT, I have no idea! He got his shoulders stuck and could not back out. His wife was laughing so hard that she could hardly help him. If I were there, I would have started stuffing in kindling and newspaper!!LOL!

The Lawman reminded me of the time I went into a restroom at a "Very Swank" Hotel Ballroom, that had these new toilets that go off on their own. I had a Rhumba costume on, short dress with a full-length ruffled tail, well when I stood up I swung the tail around. The force of suction took hold of it and sucked it down, of course I'm attached!! I'm in a very awkward position, cannot free the dress, nor can I get both feet on the ground to maybe balance myself and come up with a strategy. I am in tears after awhile, and scanning for cameras too. Don't really know how long it took for someone to find me, seemed like hours, and then they had to break the door in! Only to find Miss Rhumba with her butt underwater, dress down the drain and both legs in the air! I was really thankful that my portions of all the dance competitions was over! He's LHBO as he leaves to go bowl!!!

Oh AA, that reminded me of the time I thought the bathroom door at a friends house was stuck. There I was thinking I was trapped in this bathroom, so I start beating on the door. Well instead of the door opening inward, it open the other direction. Not locked in at all, just pulling the door the wrong way.

AAA,I cant top the rhumba dress story! Red,I keep telling you we are twins.I hit myself in the face with a bathroom door that I thought was stuck and got a beautiful black eye once. Once while i was attending a cocktail party for future clients my boss was telling the people, with me handling thier account they were sure to make a big splash,just as he uttered the words I stepped back a step and fell backwards into a pool. SPLASH!! (no we didnt get the account)

Well, jay-jay, I wasn't thinking you were a ditz, I was thinking how boring my life is! But, upon further reflection, I believe I was having selective memory when I said that I don't do things like that (I was thinking of sight gags). I have done my share, particularly behind the wheel of a car. I've driven up over numerous medians and curbs, driven miles with the parking brake on, my turn signal on, wrong way on a one-way street, etc. Like AAA, I have caught my hair in one of those round brushes and couldn't get it out. Went around most of the day with the brush dangling from my head until finally getting the scissors and cutting it out. Once when I was PG with DS#2, I was at the mall Christmas shopping when I was hit with a wave of nausea. I walked up to the nearest trash can, fished out a large Coke cup and promptly barfed in it, threw it back in the trash can and calmly walked away.

And many years ago, my DH was out of town and I was nervous about staying alone, especially because there had been a crime spree with a lot of break-ins in our neighborhood. I hurried home and went around the house making sure the windows were locked, then holed up the rest of the evening. The next morning I couldn't find my keys, looked everywhere, and FINALLY found them - in the front door! They had been in the lock all night, I guess in my haste to get safely inside, I left them in the lock! So guess I'm the ditz!

Once I was in a grocery store checking out the hand lotion. I wanted to see what it smelled like so I opened the top and gently squeezed. To my horror a glop of the lotion shot out and filled my left nostril and was running down my face. I must have made a noise because I looked to my right and saw a little old woman staring at me. I very calmly wiped it away and left the store in an embarrassed hurry.

I have been lurking here for months and have never posted. Funny that the first thing I write would be THIS story. LOL! What a nice group of people you are.

Where do I start, once when I went fishing with DH. I was getting bored so I asked him for his knife, I cut this nice twig off a tree and was peeling it, I was just about to put it in my mouth, when DH. came running over grabbed the twig out of my hand, and asked me what I was doing? I told him I was bored and was just going to suck on this twig
and watch him fish. He said well you just peeled POISON IVY !

Then there was the time I was trying to get two frozen hamburger patties apart with a BIG butcher knife, and I stabbed myself in the stomach.

Or the time my two sons thought their mother had gone over the edge for sure, they were in their teens getting ready to go out, DH. and I were watching TV. the weather came
on just about the time they were leaving, I jumped up and said you can't go out of the house tonight, they asked why and I told them the weather man said there was APACHE DEATH FOG out there. they asked me what that was, I said I didn't know but it really sounds bad! I look at DH and he's laughing his head off, and said the weather man said there is patches of dense fog. that was twenty years ago and I still haven't lived it down, every tine they forecast fog someone will tell me not to go out of the house with that APACHE DEATH FOG outside.

Well I am sooooo clumsy so let see I already told you guys about falling in the middle of the road on my way to a job interview. So what next... Ok there was the time I sliped in the mall going down the stairs got my arm stuck between the rail and the wall and couldn't get up because the floor was slick with bath oil (what caused me to slip in the first place) I just sat there bum in mid air, arm wedged in tight because of my heavy winter coat. stuck. because of the oil nobody could really get close enough to help me it took 2 men to free me and they unwedged my arm and let me drop. I left the mall right then.
Then there was the time as a kid I climbed one of the trees in our yard. on my way back down I slipped and got my leg stuck in a branch that was growing up close to the main trunk. My dad had to climb up and free me.
Then there was the time my sister and I were out riding horses( I have never liked those dumb animals) and mine would not follow commands it took me back to the field it liked and right to the tree it liked to stand under. I kept leaning back further in the saddle because I did not want to fall off. Darn horse stopped right under the tree. I was leaning right back in the saddle and could not get my fee out of the sturips. The horses owner came out to coax the horse out into the open but she would not budge, they had to saw a branch off the tree so I could sit up a bit then I got my feet free and slid off the beast. So yes Jay Jay you could say I have done things like that.

OK, I think just maybe, I'm in good company! Did the hairbrush thing, MORE than once. Was painting, on 3rd step of ladder, and stepped back, thinking I was standing on the floor, was no floor there. (how can you forget you're on a ladder?) Cracked head open on fridge, dented fridge. Was mowing, forgot the ditch behind me, walked backward into it. Jumped up, to see if the neighbors saw me.(Thankfully, had a new mower with a shut-off handle, or would have chopped up my legs. Really scared me when I thought about it) My only broken bone, a toe. Had on flip-flops, and stood on a can of tomato juice to reach something, it slid, so did sandel, twisted toe... Next day, dropped a gallon jar of pickles on big toe, next to it. Lost nail... Carrying basket of clothes to line, forgot I put cinder blocks in carport, fell, dumpd clothes in mud, cracked open both knees...Prying apart frozen ham steaks, stabbed thru hand (severed a nerve, hand never has been the same) Did I say I belong here??

####Was running late getting ready to go to a convention related to DH's timber industry job. Hopped out of shower and decided to "drip dry" while pressing a skirt. Burned a nice long burn right across my abdomen with the iron. (hurt like heck). Later at the convention I was telling a group of people that I had learned a new secret of how to remember to hold my stomach in ----- iron in the nude! One of the guys, laughed and said, "good thing you aren't shorter, or you'd have red striped boobies" and I said, "I'm just thankful I'm not TALLER, or I would have had to call the fire dept. to put out a brush fire." Cracked them all up. But I learned a lesson ----- and have never done that again, I just keep finding new "Lucy" things to learn from. he he. bye Bonny (Granny)

These are all hilarious. Nothing can top AAA's rhumba dress story, although jay-jay's swimming pool tale is a close second. And rabbit, maybe you and Bug are twins! Red's stories are hysterical, keep them coming!

Jackie's fishing adventure reminded me of the time my dad took us fishing. We all got settled in the boat when I noticed a can with cute little red things in it. I thought how nice it was of dad to provide snacks, and scooped up a handful and starting munching on it. My dad watched in disbelief, then explained I had just eaten salmon eggs, which was the bait we were to use! Same outing I kept getting my line tangled with other lines, with stuff in the bottom of the lake, or in the trees when I tried to cast. Dad came to the conclusion I was more trouble than I was worth.

Stop!! Your killing me!!! This is better than Reader's Digest Laughter Is The Best Medicine!!!!!

Years ago, went to my parents cabin for R&R. Parents were coming up next day. I forgot my BC pills. I called mother and asked her would she please get them, that she could get in thru an open window in the back of my house. When she went to get the pills she was halfway thru the window when a man said "what are you doing breaking into my house?" It was the house next door, they all looked alike, I had just moved there and mother had never been to it before!!

But not me!! I've never stuck a screwdriver in a lightswitch while changing it and not turning off the power. Or dipped my hair in the paint can, or gone one way while the horse went the other way, or called a stranger and sang happy birthday to who I thought was my sister, or fell off the riding mower that father had souped up.....Nope, not me, never done those silly things at all!!

at an office where a new rule was made that no one could eat in their cubicle anymore. Someone had a birthday and snuck in cupcakes with icing 4" high. I had just taken one and started to my desk when the boss walked in, so I crammed it in my pocket. My hand was full of squished cupcake and frosting and I tried to walk on by.. BUT.. he wanted to shake my hand.. what was I to do ? I pulled my hand out and showed him the mess.. he said " Oh, I already had my cupcake".

Scarier~~~Lived with hunter, was "dusting" with a vaccuum, and sucked up a .22 shell, that went off in the sweeper! It was a Kirby (all metal), and luckily contained it, only cost $160 to repair.
Shocked (literaly) my soon to be DH while repairing a washing machine (he still married me)
Was trying to get a window to swing open DS outside to grab it, so hit it with a screwdriver handle, screwdriver went thru window, luckily DS has great reflexes and ducked. Got a new window.
Stuck foot in gallon paint can while stepping off ladder, got stuck, had to dump to twist foot out (& I really did like that color)

When I was working in the store I had to count all the DMC floss for inventory.

All of a sudden the very distinguished looking woman tooted. Now my face was butt level and I glanced over at my friend Connie who was helping me count and tears are rolling down her face she is trying so hard not to laugh!

You people crack me up you sure have me laughing.Reminds me of the time i went fishing with my hubby we were walking down to the brook and i'm behind and all of a sudden my hubby says look out there's a snake headed right for you well let me tell you thats all the words i had to hear.Well picture this a large woman turning tail and running with her feet coming way off the ground and yelling the fishing pole gets caught on a branch i just let go of it and it's just swinging from the branch.I never stopped running until i got to the car.Had to shake my pant legs out. all i could think of was that snake was chasing me.Never been brook fishing since. The hair brush thing reminds when my daughter wound her long hair up in it and could'd get it out.Her father had to pull each bristle out one by one with a pair of pliers and every time he pulled one his hand came back and hit her in the head.There's been other things to. Ok who's next.

Ok, I remember a couple of shockers. I was putting up a cieling fan (for air circulation not acrobatics, jay-jay) late in the afternoon and it was starting to get dark. I only had a couple more things to complete, when my father walks in and says "Why don't you turn on the light?". As he hit the switch, I gritted my teeth....lost half my favorite screwdriver that day!LOL
And just to show you that I never learn to turn off the breaker, here's another. I was installing a new flourescent fixture in my shop, when my son(three years old at the time) came in and flipped the switch. I got such a zap and let out a yell. Well, I scared him so, that he turned off the switch and ran out the door. I jumped off the later and took off after him. I caught up with him just outside the shop, grabbed him and fell to the grass. I looked at him, glaring at me with wide open eyes of fear, and just started laughing. After a second, he laughed too. If only he could remember that incident now!
My freind, the one that got stuck in the woodstove, was in the barn one day doing chores with his son(four or five years old at that time)and myself. I just happened to turn to see my freind bent over in front of the cow stanchions and his son coming through the bars, towards his father's backside, with his head looking down and his pitch fork looking up! He jabbed dad square in the butt!! All, you heard was a very loud Oooouuuuuuu! I actually FOTFLMAO! My freind immediately interrogated his son, "you didn't do that on purpose did you bud????"...."nnnnnoo,no, dad, it was axecident! Honest!!!!" I still laugh at that one.

I dont know if this one will fly guys..The firm that I worked with did a lot of thier business at cocktail parties and it was required that everyone attend.I had really been putting in some long hours at the office and this party slipped my mind.I sent this gal out to buy me a dress as I didnt have time to go home.The dress was lovely but extremely low cut.I was sitting with a group and getting sleepier by the minute when one of the gentlemen said he'd like his drink refreshed.Thinking this would be a chance to walk a little and wake up,I jumped up and said I'd go to the bar and get his drink.I leaned over to get his glass and "everything" fell out the top of the dress. I was stunned and mumbled "I dont know what to say",the distinguished gentleman looked me right in the eye and said"ME NEITHER!"

These are so funny! A few years back we went to the lake to see all the ice piles that accumulate after a strong wind. These piles had to be about 10-15 ft. high. My kids and DH were at the top and I was ALMOST up when I lost my footing and started to fall backwards in what seemed like slow motion - I ended up sliding on my back all the way to the bottom and was laying there laughing and feeling really stupid (since I couldn't get up with my feet pointing UP the hill) when all of a sudden this fellow leans over me with a STRAIGHT face (still can't believe he could do that) and said "you should be careful on the ice, you could hurt yourself"! I was so embarassed but couldn't catch my breath for laughing so hard ! I guess you had to be there!

You have me roaring with laughter. Had to wipe the tears away so I could see to type.

Last year we had a very sick dog. She was on our bed & DH and I were rubbing her back, just glad she was still with us. I was facing toward the center of the bed, backside on the edge. Needless to say, lost my balance and my entire life flashed before my eyes before I went backwards. Hit my head on the table by the bed & twisted my shoulder. Funny now but not at the time. By the way--dog pulled thru and is back to her old self.

When I was working the office building would have a C'mas party with band, big time thing. My boss asked me to dance, they were playing the polka. We started, my foot slipped and I tumbled in the air landing on the floor on my backside. Red faced?

When I was much younger (a few years ago), Mom & Dad took us on vacation to Canada. While there found rocks with fool's gold vein. Took them home and later proceeded to mine the gold with hammer and screwdriver. The result..a particle in the eye & Mother had to take me to Dr. to remove it.

I've done the round hairbrush thing too many times too mention. I won't own one of those **?! now. Flat ones for me. Curling irons, at least once a week I would burn something, hand, cheek, forehead. Don't use those anymore either. DH refuses to buy power tools for me..afraid of what might happen when he's not around.

Now that my eyes have dried..got to search the other threads. Thanks sooo much for the laughter. Made my day to know of others like me.
