most retarded thing I ever did(it was difficult to choose just one)was to get out of my car to whiz on the side of the road.I accidently left my car in reverse and it drove off without me.It knocked me down and started going around in circles.The door handles had been broken off by the previous owner so I couldnt get the door open.My faithful dog was riding in the car so I started yelling at him,"Rascal! Step on the brake,step on the brake!"
I finally managed to rip open the back door and jump in.Poor dog was very confused.
Whats your most ignorant episode?

I was cutting a 2x3 structual aluminum post down on a chop saw one afternoon which was on the ground and my brother walked by telling me to squat to one side of the blade or the other and not straddle it when cutting. I ignored him and he walked around the side of the house and I started cutting and right when the blade was finishing the cut the post moved and bound the blade for half a heart beat "BANG" that 4 inch drop ripped loose and hit the back stop and shot out between my legs and "OOMPH" my hands dropped between my legs and all air left my lungs as my eyes rolled up back into my head. No pain, just a numbness and my brothers head popped around the corner and he asked "You ok?" and I turned and looked at him as I fell over and passed out as the total numbness was replaced with excruciating, throbbing pain which I swear was felt from my crotch all the to my throat. I woke up as he started the truck and was explaining to the home owner that I probably wouldn't be any good for the rest of the day and we would be back in the morning, or Mike would if I couldn't

Needless to say, I always mentioned to others getting ready to cut on a saw to stand to the side or there might be a price to pay...

Meanwhile back to reality there was a red light ahead of me to which I did not notice along a few stopped cars! Wouldn't you know it, I decided to hit an off duty police officer in the rear of his car while these girls were watching
And they thought that was very funny! But the cop didn't. Accused me of being drunk and was trying to kick my butt through the car window! After that my friends insurance company wouldn't cover him unless I signed a paper stating I wouldn't drive his car again.

At any rate we always jumped with our main chute as well as a reserve for safety. One weekend I and a few others had been trying desperately to perfect a complicated formation while freefalling, and we were running out of time for the day. So after our next to last jump, we just wadded up our main parachutes and stuffed them into the containers so they looked like they were packed properly for inspection, but we knew they would not work and we would have to use just the reserve. By doing this we saved about 15 minutes and could get in one more jump for the day.
As you can probably guess, one of the guy's reserve chute malfunctioned and he partially collapsed my chute as he streamed by before he got it corrected. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but I still have nightmares about what could have happened.

We used to do Sports Photography for little league Football, Soccar, Baseball and such. We ended up in Zepherhills Florida doing their Football teams one time and as I was working throughout the day I noticed the Divers heading up in planes at different times. When I had a chance I would watch to see them pile out and form up and break away floating back to the ground.
So I am down behind this camera and I hear a gasp and some people scream, look up as mothers cover some small childrens eyes and turn to look where they are and see this black clad person falling to earth with this big colorful streamer fluttering above them. It looked as if they had their arms wrapped up in the strings attaching them to the chute and they fell behind the trees out of view. We all waited for a few moments and everyone just seemed to become so depressed, it had been so alive up to that point, kids laughing and playing, parents shmoozing with coaches and friends. Then this happened and it was like a gloomy New England day stuck in the house with nothing to do and no one to do it with...
I talked with one of the League Board members and he told me it happens all the time, which kind of shocked me because not being around it all the time I never thought about it. So everyone from that point on was kind of down and it was not picture day anymore, it was get this done asap and let us go home.
About 15 minutes passed and this guys phone rings and he answers it and a huge smile crosses his face and he winked at me from about 30 feet away. He hangs up and walks away to the consession stand and then I hear his voice over the field intercom, everyone stops and he says that his neibhor works out at the airport and remembered it was picture day and thought he should call to amek sure everyone knew the guy survived. Man all those people came ungluded slapping each other on backs, smiling, shouting in joy, clapping. Seems he was trying to cut his main away and at the last moment had pulled his reserve which opened enough so he slowed enough that he did not go splat on impact. He also landed in a wet muddy marsh area to the side of the run way. Broke an arm and leg, some ribs, concussion and such but would live.
People really shook me up with how they reacted collectively with that. I mean, no one knew this person, not one person there knew him and yet there was such an emotional attachment to another human being that you could feel it in the air like a bass speakers pulse.
That is one instance of why my faith is in humanity in the end and my belief is that one day when the time comes and the need is greatest we can all act without selfish reason of any type being a part of our choice to act....
anyway...
sorry to go off topic...
oh, better yet

My (this) post could be considered pretty retarded

Yes, I have to agree- they are so damn loud that I want to run them all over with my car. Nothing like hearing a Harley drive by at 2am. Still not sure how they get away with breaking the decibel limit like that. And, yet, they are so affordable. the average wage of a Harley owner is $75,000.
