I'M NOT NADIA
Labor Day many moons ago, my friend David and a couple other friends had rented a beach house for Memorial Day for a week. The weekend was wonderful, many friends stopped by the whole weekend, we ate like kings, I ran on the beach every morning. The weather was perfect. We actually had rented it for like 8 days, and had decided to have a party on the last Saturday that we were staying there. It was quite a gatering, lots of people, lots of food, and lots of drink. I'm a light weight, and rarely drink liquor drinks, but for some reason that night I did. Guess I was feeling festive. Well the drinks, mixed with a 15 minute dip in the jacuzzi, everyone decided they were going to walk down to the beach. There was about a 20 foot boardwalk down to the beach from the beach house, and me always craving attention jumped up on the rails, I was boasting of my wonderful balance skills, jumping in the air and landing perfectly on the rail. Skipping, then right as I almost was at the end of the 20 foot rail almost ready for my dismount, it happened right after i said look everybody I'm Nadia Comaneci, one leg got tangeled on the other and down I came on the rails. With a much higher voice I said "I'm o.k." I really wasn't. The rest of the night I spent with a bag of ice between my legs. I scraped up my legs pretty bad too, and when I fell off afterwards, I hit my head on the trash can. Mostly my pride was hurt, I wasn't so crazy about a lot of attention anymore after that day either. I'm no Nadia! Not even close, alcohol can make you think crazy things.

Yes, I agree! But, at least You learned something from it which perhaps can prevent you from doing it again..Some people never learn that!-Keith

I know you were hurting in a bad way...but this is hilarious! I'm sure you gave Nadia a run for her money.
LOL! yes, alcohol can make you think crazy things, do crazy things. I walked through a screen door before....I knew I was walking through it....but, it didn't seem to stop me. I kept walking. thinking...hmmm, I am walking through a screen door. LOL.
life is funny sometimes. :D
Ouchie, that sounded like it REALLY hurt. Between the legs too, you poor dear.
I have to confess I'm guilty of doing the same thing. The walking on rails, I mean. We had this rail in the kitchen in my paternal grandparents' home, and when Nadia won the Olympics, I would imagine I'm her and stand on the "beam" when no one was looking. Thank goodness I didn't accidentally fall even once. It's a miracle that I didn't, really!
