The knack of messing up....

Another eventful day has come to an end. I was supposed to meet someone today. That never happened, so made other plans with friends. I was having lunch with my friend and a friend of his. It’s been a long time since I had liquor, three days to be exact, so decided that whiskey would go well with the food. I ordered my whiskey, my friend his rum and his friend her fruit punch. We were having a good time and I think the alcohol on empty stomach was having its effect.

That’s when I see this familiar face. I strain my neck a little to confirm my doubts, and hit bull’s eye. The guy used to work with me. I decide to call out his name and push my chair back and strain a little more before I decide to call the name out. Dennisssssss!!!! That’s the last thing I remember before I get this slow sinking feeling. I feel that I am going down, literally. The leg of the chair that I was sitting on breaks under my weight. Can you believe it???

It sure is embarrassing, but thanks to the hide of a rhino that I have attained over the years, I do not bat an eyelid. I get back to my chair and then realized that I twisted my broken leg. Shucks!!! Not happening.

Now that’s what I say, turning the fun into pain!!!
