The tale of a genius

Ever feel like parts of your life were snatched right out of a movie? On occasion, I get that feeling. Its usually when I do something stupid, and I feel I've become one of those dumb characters in the movie that people are laughing at instead of with. Just recently, there was a moment in my life where this seemed to be the case. Right out of a knee-slappin' comedy, I'd say.

I was moving stuff into my new apartment (details on that to come soon) and I had smartly stacked several items on a rolling cart. I had chairs, several boxes, and several hanging items on the bar, so the whole cart was rather full and you really can't see past it much. So... I was pushing it, we will say briskly, down the hallway and someone made a comment about my wonderful stacking skills. I exclaimed, "I know! I'm a genius!" Not 2 seconds later, we all heard BAM!

I swear that TV stand came out of nowhere. No worries though, things stayed stacked and the TV stand received minimal, if any, damage (it wasn't ours anyways). However, the laughter that ensued and still occurs when the event is recalled will live on... like any part of a good comedy...
