Embarassing Moment #37
Since Mickey was bold enough to post a rather embarassing moment of his, I thought I would show some support and share one of mine.
My best friend and guitar player used to have a job at a company that monitored burglar and fire alarms, working the graveyard shift. Since he was the only one there at night, I would go down there and we would get loaded, write songs and just generally act stupid. (All this as he had to make occasional calls to clients and police trying to act completely sober while I made fart noises in the background) Our band was playing a bit at the time and we came up with a bright idea for a promotion for the members of our mailing list. We decided that I was going to make photo copies of my ass and mail them out with the fliers for the next gig. If the person brought the flier to the show and could identify who's ass it was, they would receive free admission. This is where it all went wrong.
As I was making copies of my ass, Chris was making jokes. Let me add on a sidenote that no one on the planet can make me laugh like him, so I was cracking up. So here I am, laughing my ass off, and bouncing a bit on this new copier and........SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The glass breaks and I'm now stuck inside the copier, which is still running and smacking me in the ass. Aside from embarassement, I am now suffering from lacerations on my ass. Thank God, none were serious enough to warrant stitches. (Not that I would have gone anyway)
Now Chris has to explain to his boss how the copier broke. We concocted what I felt was a very legimate excuse. As Chris always read those very thick Stephen King books, he told his boss that he was copying a passage from the book when a bird flew by the window, startled him enough to drop the book and the glass broke. I guess it sounded better to us drunk and stupid at 3AM than it did to his boss at 8AM because we still paid to replace the damn glass.
To make matter worse, I was picking shards of copier glass out of my ass cheeks for the next week. So in closing Mickey, you're not the only one that's done themselves physical harm while doing something less than normal.
