What is the funniest thing that ever happened to you??
Permalink  
 


Back about 12-14 years, my youngest son worked nites at UPS. He was getting ready for work when it started with freezing rain outside. In order to make it safe for him to get down the driveway, (see Pic), I decided to spread some Calcium Chloride down the drive. I always kept 2-3 bags on hand. As I started down the drive making two tracks for his wheels, I slipped and fell on my butt. Down the drive I went, spinning in circles trying to get a leg in the grass to slow me down. Didn't work.  After a 460' slide, I ended up in the middle of the road. As I sat there taking inventory of body parts, I heard this sound, (visualize this sound of 50 lbs of calcium chloride in a bag sliding down the drive at approx 30-35 MPH and heading straight toward me.) Ever tried to move quickly on solid ice? The collision was terrible.

Wish I had it on tape. Would have won America's funniest home videos.1136644?AWSAccessKeyId=1XXJBWHKN0QBQS6TGPG2&Expires=1362614400&Signature=zD1HIouCxbyuDaYEl9edqm8HPUw%3D

It wasn't funny at the time but, last April, prolly 40-45 degrees out, I was cleaning concrete and a fence inside a pool area. Instead of moving all the patio furniture I decided to work around it. While on the far side of the pool area my hose was caught on something so, being a man, I stong-armed it and it came free. As I turned to see what it was, I see the big iron glider falling into the deep end of the pool.  The homeowners didnt close the pool with a tarp or anyting for the year so it was the disgusting green color with leaves, debris, gators and who knows what else in it. After I was finished with the job, I didnt have other options, so I got down to my undies and jumped in. At one point while trying to tow this monster glider from the deep end to the shallow end, I thought I might be done for. Somehow, I avoided all the gators and made it out alive with the glider. Thank god the homeowner wasnt home, if so I would have had to charge more for the show I put on.
