Stupid ideas

[Norman Bates]

Ok, i´ll start.
My most stupid idea i had recently was to try to drive to the gym 5 minutes after a won semi final soccer game.
I think i would have been faster if i walked.

Who can top me?

Got some pool toy boats with the little plastic oars and tried to take them down a creek much like you would do tubing. Only the creek was so swollen with snowmelt that kayakers were on it. And the day we chose, a cold front moved in and it was damn cold. AND the weight limit on the raft was 200 lbs (I was about 195 at the time). The first rapid was a 2 foot water fall that flipped us (we each had our own "raft"). We probably could have gotten really hurt.

What makes it worse is that I was about 26 when I did this.

...try biking 18 miles on trails in 90 degree weather and get so cramped that you look like you are participating in a pilates class by trying to stretch out.

Try entering a mountain bike race after training a couple of weeks for a 6-8 mile race (normal beginner distance) and finding out on the day of the race that everyone rides the same 21 mile course.

Now THOSE are leg cramps.

nice, moutain bike racing rules!!
just the other day at work (i work at a marina) we have these golf carts we use to drive the boaters to the parking lot. Well right where we park the cart, you have to make a pretty tight turn (steering wheel all the way to the right) by a fence post, then you're good to go. Well when the last person parked the cart, the parked it a little back, so my turn came up short and I was right infront of the fence post. No prob, theres a reverse gear, so all you should have to do is that. Well I'd been driving that thing forever and I really wasnt thinking... so I stopped, sat still for a sec, then FLOORED it into the post, totaling the whole front of the thing, right in the middle of a huge crowd of people!

god that was dumb!

When I was fourteen, I shot a twelve gauge brass with a bb pistol and the little primer button lodged in my forehead, forming a little cookie cutter circle when I dug it out. An inch lower and it would have taken out my eye. I would say that was pretty stupid.
