I Ran Head First Into A Door

Anyone can fall down the stairs. Falling up the stairs takes style. :p
Then my family is extremely stylish because we fall up the stairs all the time. Usually without consequence but my sister recently managed to break her arm falling up the stairs at her new home.
 
Last night in the name of physical comedy and entertaining my GF I ran headfirst into a partially open door, thinking that my head would just push it back painlessly. Unfortunately the door just bwonged and knocked me back blessing me with a horrible throbbing in my forehead! I don't know what took precedence, the laughing or the moans of pain. Hurt like hell the rest of the night! But she laughed her ass off, and that's the important thing :p

Has anyone else made a needless sacrifice in the name of getting a laugh? :D

I have a much safer version of this - instead of bumping your head on the door, as you are opening a door toward you, do the following two things simultaneously - 1) jerk your head back, like it DID hit you in the forehead and 2) kick the door with one of your feet. It takes good timing and practice, but in due time, you can trick anyone unsuspecting that you have actually bumped your noggin - lotsa fun!:rommie:
 
Once, a few years ago, I had to light a candle for a National Honor Society induction ceremony. I didn't realize that I had to reach over one that was already lit to light mine. My sleeves were a bit loose that day...yeah. The audience thought it was hilarious. After I put the fire out, I thought it was pretty funny too.
Heh. That reminds me of one Saturday when I was at my mother's house for breakfast; she put on the kettle to boil water and the dish towel in her hand caught fire. Of course, she panicked and just kind of stood there shrieking and waving it. I was laughing so hard I could barely move as I staggered across the kitchen and grabbed it from her. All I had to do was pat it a couple of times to put it out. :D
 
My father managed to light an oven mit on fire. He didn't realize it ( he only left it in...you know, the oven :rolleyes: ), then finally noticed it, and proceeded to put it out with...another oven mit.
 
Heh. We laugh, but this is why people's houses burn down. If I wasn't there, my mother probably would have thrown that towel in the trash or something.
