Clipping a cinder block with your pinkie toe as you rush by barefoot (ask me how I know).
I’ve got no feeling in my legs and feet and that made me wince.
An old girlfriend once suggested we go see a film involving Alda. I went along with this idea because, well, sex. However, planning is the key to any successful operation– so we saw it at Alamo.
The booze provisioning specialist was a bit taken aback when I asked for six cocktails, to start, with a stern suggestion that they keep flowing. By the time the simpering, whining and bleating began, I was so smashed it could have been Kim Jong Un mud-wrestling a space alien on the screen, and I’d have had no idea.
Plan B, was, of course, seppuku with my pocket knife.
Accepting an invitation from Piers Morgan for a weekend of compelling conversation, then following through and actually engaging in said event.
Zip and trouser snake (and I don’t even have one!)
Watching a movie starring Mike Farrell. At least Alda is tolerable as an evil, conniving heavy. Farrell’s acting struggles to reach the level of Brady Bunch.
A few months back, I fell off a two step stool indoors. I was facing a wall. I reached too far right, and the stool went left. I landed on carpet–damned lucky I didn’t break something at my age. My right shin raked across the round frame of the stool on the way down. The resulting goose egg was impressive.

My oldest daughter used to do ballet. Her toenails would turn back and then she would pull them off.
I was very happy when she stopped doing that to herself.
Only enjoyed Alda in two films:
The Paper Lion, and The Moonshine Wars.
* Having to sit through any entire episode of anything on HGTV
* Finding out your ‘personal suite hot tube’ where you are sans clothes humping her brains out at the expensive resort is acutally for family community use
