Hurley and I were talking about falling down and how funny it can be. My best one takes place in the lovely Dearborn, MI outside of the mall. I got turned around in their stupid maze of a structure and came out on an upper level and I could see my car on the lower one just down a hill. I decide to go down the hill instead of going back into the store because escalators are for pansies. (I believe my look that day adds to the hilarity. I had my hair all did, a ton of makeup on and a dress and fishnets; not for hookin', I was dressed for a makeup event)Anywho, my first step onto the hill my leg flies up to the level of my face and the other one follows. I'm now perfectly horizontal in the air and come CRASHING down on my back. This shoots me down the hill on my back like a toboggan. I can hear the guys at the bottom of the hill roaring with laughter. This laughter is made worse because I have to crawl back up the hill on my hands and knees with my muddy ass in the air because my cellphone flew out of my hand and is still up there. I walk in the door covered in mud and grass and my husband just looks at me and goes "Huh" and starts watching TV again.

Anybody have a funny story to share?

My best fall was in high school. I was sitting at my desk and my pencil fell off my desk to the right. At my high school, we had those types of chairs where the desk was connected to the chair by a strip of wood to the right. Figuring that my lanky arms would come in handy, I just bent to the side while I am still sitting in my desk. Unfortunately my arms weren't long enough and the desk toppled over.

In the process though, somehow my body had turned so I was facing the opposite side I was falling (to the left, rather than facing the front). I had a huge six or seven inch long scratch on my arm that was bleeding and astonishingly my head landed on the lap of the girl sitting next to me. Everyone in the class was dead silent until I started laughing; the class started laughing while my teacher is freaking out that I had seriously hurt myself. It was a good time in math class.

I'm glad you shared that, N. It was being wasted sitting in my comments box. I guess what you're saying is that anything worth reading om my blog, will be posted on yours...is nothing sacred.

LOL! I love fall stories!

Mine was last year at my old job. I am an Event Planner so I was coming back from a meeting with my boss and carrying with me my big event binders, purse and umbrella as it was raining.

As we walked accross the street onto the campus grounds I thought I would walk on the grass. The minute I stepped on the grass I realized it was just a pile of mud with some grass on top and I completly wipped out. I fell into the mud and a puddle full of muddy water. My Umbrella flipped inside out and broke, I got mud EVERYWHERE on me! My problem was that I tried to keep my binders from falling into the mud instead of keeping me from falling in the mud!

I had to sit the rest of the day on a trash bag and paper towels in muddy clothes....GROSS!
