MC208B 0 #52 February 5, 2005 ummmm...It would be nice to witness some of your "wardrobe malfunctions"My dumbass/humiliating experience (well, one of them): just out of the Army in 73 and visiting my brother in Kansas. Was riding his brand new Triumph Tiger through town. Streets clogged with slow pokes. Finally got to where I could pass all those jerks and did. Was hauling ass and upshifting to show my displeasure at all those sodbusters. Little did I know that Triumph's has a knack for getting a high speed wobble. Dumped the bike and slid a couple hundred feet or so. A couple of the locals that I had just left in a cloud of dust stopped to ask if I was allright. Macho me said hell yea or something to that effect. A pretty lady suggested that I might want to face the oncoming trtaffic since the skid had burned off the ass of my levis and my underwear!!! Geez!!! To add insult to injury, the spill had broken off the clutch handle. So, I had to fire the bike up in neutral and push it fast enuf to slam it into gear without killing the engine, took 3 tries! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #53 February 5, 2005 Quote According to a friend my skirt was all the way up in the back. I still have no idea how that happened. I've seen static cling do it on cold days. I was at a stoplight once and a girl was standing on the corner next to the bus stop sign. There was no one in the left lane and 3 cars with guys in the right lane. I was in the last car. Her skirt had blown up and "stuck" to the back of sweater. All the guys are looking at her. I looked up just in time to see the light change to yellow. No one had noticed the light change. She picked a poor day to go commando. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkiD_PL8 0 #54 February 5, 2005 Ok, I guess I will chime in. I was in 8th grade and belonged to a private country club which had a nice swimming pool complete with 2 springboards and a platform. All of my friends were there both guys and girls. I was the guru on diving among my friends and was teaching one how to do a gainer off of the high springboard. I had done this dive tons of times showing off prior to this but this time I thought I would go for a full 2 flips instead of just 1 and a half, big mistake, I ended up not getting far enough from the board and smacking the back of my head on it, and then falling down to the water in a full on flailing back buster. I had allready made a complete ass out of myself and I swim over to the ladder and climb out and my friends are waiting to make sure I am not hurt but instead of asking me if I was ok they immediately start smileing and tell me to jump back in... I was apprehensive about this until I looked down and realized that sometime durring that mess I had lost my trunks. So yeah, definately the most humiliating experience for me. Greenie in training.

NWFlyer 2 #55 February 7, 2005 My life would be much more humiliating if I didn't have a really good ability to laugh at myself. I figure if I can start poking fun at myself before others get a chance, the humiliation factor goes way down. That said, I had one experience that I never did figure out how to laugh off. In college, first day of classes, and I walked into a large lecture hall from the bottom of the room. Started scanning the room looking for any familiar faces in the class, not paying any attention to where I'm sitting. A blind classmate and his seeing eye dog were sitting in the front row. I'd had several classes with the guy, and he and his black lab were always stationed in the front row, so this shouldn't have been a surprise. I manage to step on the dog's foot while I'm looking for any friends in the room. Dog, understandably, lets out a huge yelp. I just mumble profuse apologies to my classmate and try, desperately, to get to my seat, unnoticed, but of course, there's 200 eyes staring at me wondering what I've done to torture the poor seeing-eye dog. Needless to say, the friend I did find in the class mocked me mercilessly."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
