I wish I had, I'd take a sprained ankle or even broken bone, in lieu of the tweaking my right knee took this winter.
I started to slip caught myself only to feel that awful sick feeling and sharp pain in my knee.
You know that sick feeling you get anytime you tweak your knee and for a second you think "oh crap there it goes"
I broken bone would cost alot less than a knee surgery.

Yep. Bush created globular worming just to deprive you of Constitutional right to have a layer of ice to slip on.
That bastard!!! :laugh:
On a note similar to the thread, I slipped today. Leather soles + wet wooden steps = pain. Cleverly, I stopped the fall with my lower back.
Note to self: Never use the stairs.

Did a half-gainer onto my back some years ago walking back to my car after some ice fishing at Eleven Mile in Colorado.  It was rather surreal watching my feet swoop out in front of me, legs parallel to the ice, toes pointing at the air.  It seemed to take forever to fall the three feet or so to the ice.  My fishing buddies thought for a few seconds that I was dead, I hit so hard.
Ouch.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Falling on the ice is a pain in the ass.  =(
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

After a nasty ice storm sophomore year in undergrad I fell outside on the steps in front of the Read dorm cafeteria.  Half the room stood and golf clapped.

I stood up and bowed.  That graceful move got me a date later that week. =D
