I just went for the biggest sixer...
Buying lunch is hazardous... I was running up the steps from my local eatery and managed to hook the tip of my left shoe under the step and CRASH down I go.... both hands stretched out... wallet, work pass/keys, can of pepsi max and my sandwich go completely flying! I think I even whacked the top of my chest on the steps!
I simply turned around sat on my butt and started looking for the blood!!! I hit the ground hard as!! No blood, no busted bones that I can see... all I got was a scratch on my Alpha - thank god I didnt have my Panerai yet was all I could think What a clutz eh?????? |

Ouch... sometimes, after such events, all you can do is sit there a second, shake your head and laugh. Oh yeah, and check to see who else saw it () Hope you're all OK and, oh yeah, your watch too.

Talk about embarrassment.............I was in an hotel last week, when I came down for breakfast, not only was my vest sticking out of the back of my trousers but my flies were open as well. Had to do a quick adjustment when I sat down.

Trim the tips off of those pointy shoes.
