#2 - One day recently my elderly mother left her car sitting outside with the windows open and came out to find the windshield blown out from the inside. As far as anyone could tell a large bird like a hawk must have flown in the window and out the windshield. #3 - One of my extensions cords has a lumpy splice covered with electrical tape. Just sayin.
That would help to explain how it got there. I was scratching my head on how it got there. Most likely an accident with a crane. But I would hope for something more interesting like a trebuchet.
#10 - back many many years ago when I was a teenager, my brother and I started rough-housing and ended up making several body shaped indentions in the sheetrock. My dad came in, saw the damage and told us to line up. He grabbed the paddle and we assumed the position. Now at this point it had been several years since the last paddling, and we were initially as scared as we'd always been about punishment. But after the first couple hits, my brother started giggling, than I started laughing, cause he wasn't able to hit us any harder than we hit the wall. I looked up and my dad was doing his best not to start laughing too. He finally told us to shut the hell up and run down to the lumber yard and get another piece of sheetrock and start fixing the holes. The paddle got retired after that. I remember seeing several years ago after trying to clean out his closet after he passed. Lots of memories from a simple piece of wood, cut and lacquered for all posterity.
I have here in my possession a hand made paddle that belonged to my Grandfather called "The Board of Education" that was actually the paddle he used to make home made wine during prohibition. My older brother was the only one of the grandkids who was ever wild enough to actually get hit with it.

#2 Is that a nylon sling sticking out from under the rock?

DeleteThey might have dropped the rock on it on purpose.
Delete#10 - Did that last Sunday, only instead of hitting the wall, I faceplanted on the floor. Real fun explaining the rug burns on my forehead...
ReplyDelete#10 - Done that one too. Scared the hell out of me.

#1. So, was God that pissed at somebody? I would like to know who and where so I can stay far away.
