Not one week in and I can add something.

As people filed out of lecture hall in hoover, I managed to fall down a few rows of seats. Somehow tripped on the edge of one of the aisle seats and fell forward. Ended up facing toward the back of the lecture hall with my leg wedged in between the space between two seats a row or so down and was unable to get up under my own power. :confused:

LOL. Thanks for the laugh.

I think the most embarrassing thing to happen to me at ISU was when I missed a final because I read the finals schedule wrong. Luckily it was one of the huge classes that everyone in the College of Business has to take so the prof let me come to the second finals session. It was quite embarrassing, so I was glad only the prof knew how stupid I was.

Somewhere in the U.S.
Back in the early 70's I was an usher at Hilton. At one men's basketball game, Governor Bob Ray showed up with, iirc, his two daughters. Anyway, it was my job to lead them down to their seats in the parquet. As we were walking down the announcer got on the p.a. system to point out to the crowd that the Governor was there. So, everyone was applauding, the Governor was waving, and I was in front of him. He said something to me and like an idiot I stopped and turned, nearly knocking him off his feet. Many in the crowd laughed, and I felt about an inch tall, and could not stop apologizing to the Governor and his family. I felt like an absolute fool in front of 14,000+ witnesses.

Got tackled on Welch ave. running from the cops. I got a little road rash on my forehead. Someone at a party I was running by when I was tackled was at my class the next monday. She was like "that was you, that was awesome, we were all cheering 'run forest run'."

Aparently you can't drink a beer walking down welch when underage. :skeptical:

When my high school principal was yelling at me. He told me he was going to suspend me for 3 days and it should be 10 days. I am now scared to death as I was going to get my butt kicked at home. He asks me if I know the difference between 10 and 3. I said yes, 6. He said WHAT???? I again, said 10-3 = 6. He told me I needed to spend more time on my math than being a smart*** in school. After that I realized the answer should have been 7, but it was way to late for a new answer.

High school science class. A friend brought in a little rubber anatomically-endowed toad called the "Horny Toad". Our teacher saw it and marched us down to the principal's office. She set the toad on this desk. He was just looking at us and asking us questions, but nobody said anything.

Eventually, he picked up the toad by its appendage and shook it in our faces saying "Do you really think this is funny?". Our science teacher burst out laughing and had to leave his office. After that, there wasn't much he could say when his own teacher was laughing harder than we were...

I don't have any real good ones besides things I have said in a bar late in the night but I have one about a buddy in High school.

So before lunch we had Biology. We were dissecting Crawdads. My buddy stole one and put it in his pocket. For lunch that day we had spaghetti. So, my buddy proceeds to bury it in my other buddy's spaghetti. Now, the buddy that had the crawdad infested spaghetti, always leaned his chair back against the pop machine. So hes sittin there leanin against it on two legs and yet another buddy flips his chair with his foot. The guy who fell on the floor is no so embarrassed he just starts eating away to find a crawdad and soon as he sees it he jumps out of his chair and falls on the ground. This all happens in front of a cafeteria full of 200 kids. It was classic.
