» Embarrassing Injuries

It was a crisp February morning when I was but knee high to a grasshopper...
I rubbed my eyes, and peered out of the window. It was snowing!

I quickly grabbed my sledge, ran outside, and trudged up to a field near my house. At the top, I met a nice young couple who agreed to race me on their massive wooden jobby... ha! fools! i'd surely beat them on my 'plastic avenger'.

About half way down I realised that these monolithic beasts were actually quite fast, especially laden with two adults, and there was no way I was going to catch up with them. Watching them veer off to the right to avoid the looming wall, I completely forgot to steer, and subsequently lost control.

I was heading straight for the gate, which silently began to swing open... My sledge hit the edge of the gate, and I was bumped, legs akimbo, along it until my crotch connected with the gate, tearing my jeans on a splinter, and taking a little section of my ballbag as a souvenir.
