Superfunkomatic - Observations of the Socially Inept

when climbing a ladder you’ll notice a little sticker or message saying don’t stand on the topmost step - “this is not a step”. well, i ignored that advice from the manufacturer. stood on the last step. slipped on last step while balancing precariously in the attic. began to fall out of the attic. grabbed first available object to catch my fall. unfortunately, it was a pair of sheet metal cutters.

cutters don’t break falls. feet quickly catch ladder’s steps on way down. slowly recover. but wait, now the cutters that i so wisely grabbed on the way down are continuing their descent. the descent appears to be straight for my face. yep, the face. too late, hits my front tooth and my upper lip.

luckly i didn’t knock my teeth out, but cut right through my upper lip and bled like a stuck pig.

words of advice - don’t, repeat, don’t stand on top step and don’t leave tools around as a parachute.
