I can be pretty funny if I want to

One day, probably 10 years ago or more, my sister Marsha, my son Jon and I were walking thru a parking lot on our way to a scuba shop. There was a truck parked in the lot with a ladder sticking out of the back. I always look down when I walk, probably because I find money that way. Anyway, I didn't see the ladder and walked smack into it. I mean HARD into it. I was reeling from the jolt and almost went down.

I didn't get much sympathy.

Marsha and Jon laughed so hard. And they kept on laughing. In fact, they laughed so much all day it got pretty annoying. And anytime they thought of it from then on they would burst out in gales of laughter. If my sister reads this I guarantee....she will fall off her chair.

Don't hit your head when you do sistah!!

  1. OUCH! Perhaps it looked comical, but it sounds like it hurt a lot! BTW, how's your finger doing, Ginni?

  2. I always look down, too, but I'm afraid of walking in dog poop! I'm really sorry, Ginn, but I'm still laughing, too!

  4. LOL - poor Gin, but I probably would be like the sister and Jon...

    My dad slipped on the ice one time when I was a teenager. My mom and I were in tears from laughing so hard. Then it turned out he broke his hip and had to have a pin put in. Yet, we still giggled every time we thought of it. And do to this day!
    XOXO

  5. "my dear boy what are you sniggering at. I bet I got it right"

    I was paid back many years later for laughing.....and I still smile when I think how much Jon and I laughed.

  6. Okay Eliza...I've got one for you...

    "Yes, lord love you. Why should she die of influenza, when she come through diptheria right enough the year before. Fairly blue with it she was. They all thought she was dead. But my father, he kept ladling gin down her throat. Then she come to so sudden she bit the bowl right off the spoon."

  7. I guess you had to be there? I can see where it would be funny since you didn't get hurt. Now I have to think if I look down when I walk.

    Sounds like a starter is a must where you live. Brrrr. I have a nice garage and feel badly for those that don't!
