Sprayed by a skunk.  Hit a deer at 70 mph.  The fun, the fantasy and the consequences of crazy eyed women . I have hit a parked semi, a bridge, and a car next door.  The idiocy that leads me to find out about my red ink allergy (some things SHOULD leave a mark so I must accept this) The couch in the middle of downtown traffic. The head in the ditch as the trooper waved me to pass the accident on the highway. The wrong way car on the interstate 3 different times.
 Antifreeze, copper , medicine and other chemical reactions.

I hit a bat and it was stuck in my windshield wipers. (anyone can hit a deer)

The year my taxes were turned in with the decimal in the wrong place- computer dies- dog dies- and daughter breaks arm skating-all in a day or so.
I have had the power go out during a bowling tournament I was doing well in twice.
I had the lightbulb explode in the pin area over my lane at a tournament, spraying fine glass over the entire 10 lane center. I think I struck ....
I have had a radiator cap imprint 'do not remove while hot' in my forehead. Got 2nd degree burns on my hand  out of that one.
I have seen a trombone case fly out my closed back window while I was getting in the drivers seat.

 I saw my dog run over in front of me. The crazy grandma stories. I climbed things but I was afraid of heights, leading to many a trip to the emergency room. I'd get my head stuck in the gate. At 4 I ran away and fell asleep in neighbors boat- search party ensues.  Stuck things in electrical sockets often.

Do not spit on anyone-it is wrong to do and  you have NO IDEA how far reaching the consequences can be.

The alligator in the lake that nobody believed was there.

A thousand stories of  various hotel, travel ,bowling, work and life's oddities in general.    My life may be a little fuller than I thought.

I now enjoy an occasional moment of boredom.
