So today I was taking the green waste barrel out
and I had the lid open because I have the bad habit of leaving little piles around the yard.

The green waste is hard to move with the lid open.

The lid sort of flaps and hits you on your shins.

So I was rolling the barrel out and somehow I tripped on the flapping lid.

The barrel went down in front of me, and I fell HEAD FIRST into the green waste.

Literally.

It was like I was diving head first down a water slide, ya know?

Fortunately the barrel was pretty full, so I had a cushy landing, but dear sweet baby Jeebus, I felt like a moran. :P

Especially memorable was the feeling of my head and shoulders going about 2 feet into the veg. :P

Even the Soviet judge would've given me a 10. :P

7. Ha! Yesterday I poured some change into my mouth.
I thought there were breath mints in my tin. Apparently, I was keeping coins in there.
It was gross.
