Maybe it's just my twisted sense of humour, but I had to tell this one on myself.
It's had rained and was misting heavily when my wife asked for a grocery store run. I looked outside, it was dark and drizzly, so I put on a sweatshirt (Polecat Aerospace-what else?), grabbed my keys and jumped in Mobile Hangar No. 6 and jammed to the store. Not finding what I wanted I left and on the way back to the van, I had to cross over a Handicapped space. Yup! Traction was good on the asphalt with my flip-flops but when I hit that painted blue and white wheelchair logo-BAM! Down I went! Knocked the breath outta me so I'm kinda laying there, soaked and stunned, looking at the Handicapped symbol from and inch away. And started laughing (which really hurt more but I couldn't help it) thinking to myself "I just got injured on the Handicapped sign"! Thern a moment later-"Hmmm-I might have to use that space tomorrow'. I think bystanders might have thought I knocked myself silly because I kept laughing while struggling to get up. Yes, I have officially become a Stupid Old Man. Flip-flops in the rain indeed! Lesson learned. X-rays later today.
