I neglected to remember how many steps up a ladder I had gone and stepped off while still 3 rungs from the ground. Old people don;t bounce!

I just did that a couple of days ago. I hurt.

I've bounced several beer cans off the window with that one last swallow of hot beer in the bottom. Need to go back to smoking so the window will always be down.

Shouldn’t litter :hide:

I was thinking he needs to drink his beer faster!

Or don’t drink and drive

I've done that myself. I also remember being on the very top of a 6-foot wooden stepladder. I had turned around several times, and had lost track of which way the ladder was facing when I started down. Fortunately I was much younger then and managed to catch myself before I fell, but not before I had put my foot through the fold-out paint shelf.

Some time back I decided to pump out the sludge that had collected at the bottom of the cement dam. The dam is 6ft deep and about 30ft wide, I use it for irrigation purposes(and it is home to approx 100 overgrown Koi that have now reverted to carp because I never culled :roll: ). Built a heavy grid that fits over the outlet hole so the bigger fish don't get sucked into outlet pipe. The outlet pipe obviously leads to the pump outside the dam.

Anyway, drained the dam to about 2ft, took a broom and waded into the dirty icy water towards the grid...barefoot. Set the grid aside, pump was on pumping water to the orchard, I started gently sweeping the muck towards the outlet hole.

Things were not happening fast enough for my liking so I decided to put my foot near the outlet pipe and check how strong the 'pull' was :lol: . Next instant my foot got sucked into the pipe right up to the bridge :shock: :shock: . I pulled and pulled, the pump on/off was on the other side of the wall and there was no one around to help me. It only sort of dawned on me after a while that I was in a real pickle. Couldn't get enough traction with my other foot. It meant sitting down on my bum in that dirty water and tugging my leg at the knee with both hands... :yuck: !

:dunce:

WOW, I had never really thought of anyone else being dumb enough to do it. I didn;t want to post because I didn;t think anyone would believe someone could be that dumb.

Papaw missed the last step last year and busted the blood vessels in hiss eye from the jarring. He didn't fall down just stepped down hard. So you old farts better be careful. He's a lot older than y'all are unless some of you are older than 88.

Not me but a lady friend of mine was in her stock trailer cleaning it out. The wind blew the door shut. Her trailer has a slam latch with no inside release on the slam latch. She was stuck inside the trailer, alone, middle of no where ranch in Norther Nevada. Took her two hours to figure out something reach the latch release on the outside.

Well, we may be the only two, but at least we aren't alone.

I've done this too on a ladder, done it on our stairs. I've hit the ground so hard so many times. When I hopped off the 3rd from the bottom step on our stairs, I hit the tile floor on a knee and split it to the bone. Taped it up, all fixed, no problem.. I'm terrified of heights. But the last week I've been on the last couple rungs of our extension ladder in the living room painting. Love the looks on everyones face when they walk in and see me up there...sheer horror. I'm careful...i'm careful..knowing I forget what rung i'm on, I look at every one before I step down. Its when I get overconfident things happen....

That’s a good one Alison I have done a few of those in my life. At least the window didn’t break and cut you. Be careful out there.

I've bounced several beer cans off the window with that one last swallow of hot beer in the bottom. Need to go back to smoking so the window will always be down.

Shouldn’t litter :hide:

Waco I try to throw them out where you see those signs advertising "Next 2 miles adoped by Wacocowboy and Family". :lol: :lol:

You must think I am rich adopting a hwy. I am just a poor old cow poke I can’t afford to adopt the county road in front of my house. Sometimes I do feel lol me I have adopted my county road since I have to shred the ditches.

Broke my nose pulling nails out of old barn boards (hit my nose with my hand which had the hammer attached to it. So basically I punched myself and broke my nose).
Jumped out of the end of the bed of the pickup and caught my foot in the whatchmacallit (cabley thing) that holds the gate up/down. Faceplanted on the concrete, broken foot still caught in the cable up above. (Said foot can now predict the rain).
My family nickname is Grace. They do not mean it kindly.

The "Grace" thing reminds me of an old saying of my dads. "As graceful as the bird we call an elephant"

Cross there comes a time when you just have to say "dang, I'm stuck". You went way past that point

Ever got your pants leg caught on the clutch pedal jumping off of am open station? One way trip to kiss the ground.

On the way to the jobsite one morning, always get a Dr pepper fountain drink and have my old cup for a spit cup, grabbed the wrong one to get a drink and got a big gulp of Copenhagen. Worst than that, was at a bar one night with the wife had two cups in my hand wife grabbed one and took a drink, she grabbed the wrong one, never knew someone could actually turn green in the face, or that it would take that long to get out of the doghouse.

That is what 4x4 is good for is to get you 25 feet farther than you have chain.

My worst stupid tax was a Model 12 going off one night through the roof of my 70 Chevy. Ears still ringing.
Long story involving deer management.

Hard to believe somebody voluntarily drove into that undisguised quagmire.
