Real Life Slapstick II
What's the best slapstick thing you've ever seen?
Have you witnessed someone walking into a lamp-post? A food fight? Someone clonked round the face with a frying pan? All your favourite moments please.

In which a naive country mouse travels to the Big Smoke, goes shopping and gets his paw stuck in an automatic door.
We find our hero visiting the city mice in their palatial up&down apartment in the inner city. Our hero knows nothing of the Big City Life having spent his few precious young years nestled into the hearty bosom of a small rural village and the local people who treat said village like it's home.
Our naive young mousey sets out with his more worldly cousins to purchase some vitals at the Super-Market. Country mouse has never even been into a supermarket before. His sum total of experiences as far as shopping goes extend to the local store, markets and fairs.
Once they arrive at the supermarket via the city mices' "family saloon" auto-mobile, country mouse alights and strolls across the carpark towards the sliding doors of the supermarket. Remembering the missives about 'sliding doors' that Grandma Country Mouse had told him; that "anything that opens and closes that doesn't have a hinge is evil"; country mouse was wary. Yet he felt he had to be a gentlemouse and open the doors for the ladies following him.
As he reached for the door it started to open of it's own volition. The door quickly opened and took his hand with it, sliding our hero's delicate paw into the recess of the automatic doors innards. And in doing so, dragging our young hero from a standing position to prostrate in seconds.
Our young country mouse then begins crying and screaming like a bitch due to his hand being caught in between the panes of an automatic sliding door and the doorway around it.
The supermarket supervisor manages to isolate the door's mechanism as other customers quietly step over our hero and eventually free the country mouse.
Country mouse recovers his paw intact and vows never to return to a supermarket or the Big Smoke ever again.
And yet I managed to forget both chicken thigh fillets and cat food today at the shops today.
