...guess they got to see his Jolly Roger then....
Back in school i tried to impress a girl when the whole class was at a swimminghall. I decided to dive from 10 meters. Then everything would be solved. Well, i got her attention at least. She called me stupid and asked if i wanted to split my stomach open. So it was not really a success.
Too many things to count. I've recounted blowing up the cistern in another thread.
To follow up on Kurben, my childhood friend Curt and I were at a pool. I'd dove off the side of the pool, off the low diving board, and always clean, low-splash dives.
Well, there were girls there that day, and I wanted to be impressive. (Yes, now it gets predictable, but I swear this is a true story.) Diving in clean from the side of the pool and the low board were easy. I'd impress the ladies with a high dive.
Curt was impressed that I'd try and not entirely sure that I'd actually go through with it. I climbed up the ladder to the high dive, walked out, took a couple springs, and confidently sprang up and out for the slow arc that would end in a graceful splash.
But that fierce b|tch physics intervened. What was the slow graceful arc from a low board turned into more opportunity for rotation, given distance and inertial vectors, and allowed my body to have more rotation, so by the time I actually hit the water, it was back-first, with the sharp sickening flat splat of a body hitting the water at way too flat of an angle.
I was stunned, completely disoriented, under the water. I floated back to the surface and made my way slowly and painfully to the side of the pool, the water cool but not able to diminish the fire in my back. The pool area was quiet. I think those who had watched me were sure I wasn't going to come back up.
I climbed out of the pool. You might think I was humiliated, but no. The pain subsumed all that. I stumbled to the lounge, defeated, just wanted the burning to subside. I'm sure I went back into the water after a while, but I really don't remember anything else after that.
It was not impressive to the ladies.

My sister and I were sharing a bath... We couldn't have been more than 7. Don't ask my how/why but I pee'd on my sisters hair. We were absolutely terrified it would turn her hair yellow.
Oh God, that's awful... ! Kids, ah?
Well, you're (mostly) past the awful stage now.
Mostly ??? More like "not at all".
Thought you'd like that. (not)
Well... I didn't wanna say.As in "not at all" past the awful stage.
I'm still awful
(kidding!)
Two of my (damned kids!) are playing Tekken as we speak... one of the others is cooking dinner though, so, not all is lost.*shakes fist*

Easy fix: Get him to play something intellectually and philosophically stimulating like Call of Duty.
