I didn't run over John Walters in the Kum & Go parking lot. Love the guy, but he needs a orange moped flag taped to his ***.

Your turn...

Got delayed 20 minutes because my dog sitter set of our house alarm and so instead of being on that bridge that collapsed in the Twin Cities 5 or so years ago we were about 20 minutes out.

Or when I decided to cut off a relationship with Dan Gables Daughter after one date. Can you imagine that "meet the parents" scenario. ;)

I was working in a college gym part time and had been flirting with this girl who came in regularly. I had given her my number and she called me one night when I was off. It was a 45 minute drive to her place and I was feeling lazy, so I told her I would see her around some other time. Nothing ever came of it and I found out later she had given multiple guys on the basketball team the clap.

I don't know a single college guy who wouldn't walk that far barefoot on broken glass if he thought he had a chance.

that gun pointing at me went off and I moved laterally ever so slightly.

Same deal, except an accident. My brother almost show me with a 12 gauge point blank (he though it was unloaded and the safety was on while hunting). I move out of the way a few seconds before it went off. I may have messed my pants a bit.

Drove 5hrs through a blizzard. Had to stop every 30 minutes to chip the ice off my headlights so i could see. I agree with your statement.

This man's dedication and perseverance should serve as inspiration to us all. I for one am glad that all of the young fanatics on the board are here today to read this.

10 years or so ago I was helping re-roof my parents house. The nail gun I was using was a bit older and either the safety mechanism was broken or it didn't have one. I stood up and accidentally squeezed one off and after a brief oh **** I looked down to confirm that my foot was okay as it had gone in about two inches away from my shoe.
