Lovey! I feel your pain.. because I ran into a wall at work and dropped a box of CDs all over the ground. Mine was not anonymous because patrons and staff were all over the place.

I've been fortunate enough to be an eye witness to such a pole-to-face impact when I was in Junior High. That's some powerful hilarity (once you know the person's still got most of their teeth).

yeah, I think we've all had those moments in one form or another. mine was riding full speed into one of those telephone pole retaining wires at night. you know, those ones that come off the pole at a 45* angle and keep the pole from leaning?

yeah, stunningly surprising being swept off the seat of a speeding bike by what feels like a ninja ambush in the middle of the night.

great story

Sorry for the hankering, but I'm glad you kinda noticed the pun!

Playing in fast forward, that's pretty much what happened!

Oh my goodness, that was Pole Dance #1. I was walking and talking to a friend at my junior high school when I walked right into a pole. That was even more painful, and he wouldn't stop laughing. Laughed even harder when I yelled at him.

I hope you weren't too hard on him because really, when you witness it that close, there's absolutely nothing any human can do to not laugh. Simply not possible.

My mom did something similiar while gardening - don't know she did it but she slammed into the tether ball pole and poked a hole in her retina. Not sure why she was gardening at night (I just don't ask anymore).

I tripped at my office and fell onto the corner of my desk cracking 4 ribs, so I definately feel you pain.
