After about the 20th time I locked my keys in a 1977 Monte Carlo, I could hook that lock in about 30 seconds.

I can still remember getting a boner in math class and having to carefully, unobtrusively rearrange.
Right in the middle of my rasslin' match, I notice the gal I had a crush on who sat next to me to my right, looking straight ahead, but her left eye way over in the very corner of the socket of her eye, watching me try to untangle.
Of course at this point I had my rod only part way around and to leave it would have probably broken it if I stood up or something.
I blushed terribly and somehow soldiered on.
Took months to even look her in the eye.
Nothing was ever said about it.

Smacking yourself with a click-clack. Fucking owe!

I shucked it, and I shucked it, and I shucked it, i'm quite the mother shucker

[Furtherman]

Sneezing with a clip-on tie. That metal piece stabbing your neck. Ouch.

Spilling juice on the new shirt Mom bought for you.

Losing a beach toy to the ocean.

The kite string breaks!

Falling off the tree swing.

Dick stuck in zipper.

Lighting firecrackers with short fuses.

Hitting taint on a mighty downstroke.

Walking dogshit in the house.

Laughing till orange juice came out your nose.

Puking in class, especially while watching one of those Ohio Highway Stae Patrol movies in Driver's Ed. like Signal 30, or Death On the Highway.

Going to get a drink at a school water fountain that blasts you with water because somone has wedged something in it to pinch and change the water flow back onto you.

Dialing "0" and speaking to a real live C&P operator in your own town.

(I used to dial "0" when I was a kid to try and get my mom (who was an
operator) and could usually get her after a few tries...)

EDIT* shit, this isn't a mishap. Sorry...

<p>The recession hit my family hard. I remember living one summer with no electricity because my dad couldn't pay the bill. I thought it was great! We barbequed every night. It was like camping.</p><p>Another time I had a pair of red flowered pants and I totally ripped the ass out of them.

Back in high school, my friend and I bought a chicken and went into the woods to cook it. I grabbed a handful of those wooden stick matches from home and put them in my pocket. Halfway into the woods, my leg started getting warm, My pants were on FIRE !! I ripped them off and put the fire out, but had a big hole in them. Had a hard time expaining that one to Mom !!

<p>How about the old untied shoelace on a bicycle and as you're riding the shoelace winds around the pedal until there is no slack and your foot is lashed to the bike and its a bmx bike so it can't go forward without the cranks turning so it's either the bike stops or your foot snaps cleanly off at the ankle?</p><p>Or how about the rock fight with the mutant kid from down the street that ends up with blood streaming down your head and you chasing that ass-head with a huge stick?</p>

I had this home detective kit that came with a fingerprint kit. We tried it out on my neighbors door. It was a white door and we put all this black powder all over it to get a print. When his father came home he wasnt happy.
