Back
when I was in high school I was playing tennis with a friend and when we were
done with our match I thought to myself, “Watch this! I’m going to leap over
the net like they do on TV. It will be a little bit funny in an ironic way but
also, sort of, cool.”
So I
ran to the net and jumped. But a problem occurred. The tip of my foot hit the
top of the net and rather than sailing effortlessly over the net with grace and
poise I tripped and fell in an awkward heap to the ground.
It
turns out my move was not cool, at all. On the other hand, it was more than a
little bit funny to the people who saw it.
Fortunately,
that’s the last embarrassing thing I’ve ever done!
…Unless
you count all the other stuff.
