Question of the Day!

Have you ever made a total fool of yourself in public?

I had to put a lot of thought into this question. Not so much if I had ever made a fool of myself in public, but which one to share. For example, the time (many years back) I was pushing a very full cart out of Target and saw a very shapely woman and became entranced by the sway of her hips. My trance was broken when my cart ran into a curb and toppled over.

Or the time I was painting a cabin for a friend, and a couple of attractive ladies stopped to admire my work. I had climbed down the ladder to move it over, but in my distracted state, I forgot to remove the paint can from the shelf of the step ladder. It tipped and poured white paint down on me, then rolled and fell just as I looked up to see what was raining down and hit me on the forehead; I still have a slight scar.

As far as being foolish, here's also this funny tale. I was shopping with a girlfriend many years back and she wanted to get a big bag of dog food, fifty pounds I think. She asked if I would carry it to the front for her, so I grabbed the top corners of the bag and walked backward as I drug it across the floor. I would take a step and tug, then another step and tug, making grunting noises and acting like it was way too heavy for me to move. I finally got to the checkout and the cashier came around and scanned the bag, then asked if I wanted help getting it to the car. I hoisted it up with no effort, balanced it on my shoulder, and told her, "No thanks." I then carried it out and put it in the trunk. My girlfriend never took me shopping again.
