SchadenfreudeThere's nothing like administering first aid to cyclist who has just spanged into the back of a milk float when you have tears of laughter running down your face. The world is just one long episode of You've Been Framed - when have you laughed at the misfortune of others?

Superman's Achilles HeelDoesn’t seem to be limited to just kryptonite. Aged about 12 on a school trip to the Science Museum in London I noticed a boy (4-5 years old) running around in his own little world having a good old time. That was until his mum took her eyes off him. He climbed onto a bench and declared in his loudest, squeakiest voice “I’m superman!!!” Launching himself off the 1ft high bench arms stretched out in front, legs straight back, perfect superman technique. At this point gravity remembered its job and he accelerated towards the solid marble floor. He landed face first with a double thud, oh yes dear reader, one onslaught against the marble floor wasn’t enough so his head bounced, whiplashed back and ‘had at it’ for a second time.
He was out cold for a good 20-30 seconds before the inevitable crying began. I look back on this and still laugh, and I’m sure many of you heartless bastards would have at the time. But I could only visualize the pain and it almost felt as if I had multi face-planted myself. I was so affected that my testicles buggered off to hide up north, it felt more like they were trying to make good an escape through my mouth!
Even though I felt too ill to laugh at the time, I hope you don’t mind my telling of this story as it still makes me chuckle.

"multi face-planted"The second funniest phrase I've read recently on b3ta after the 'rapey eyes' of last week's QOTW.
*one click for each time his face hit the ground*
