I keep doing stupid stuff, and more and more often. Especially when in a hurry and under stress. I totally can feel for the guy. <br />As for the sunglasses, that is a man thing....the not being able to see something that is right there. My husband will repeatedly look for something, and tell me it is not to be found, then I will calmly point out to him that if he just moved something else just a bit, he would have seen it....or if he'd felt his head, he'd have found the glasses. so, if your friend is male and of a certain age, it was inevitable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095807065479059898.post-37747137409065657452010-05-26T15:37:29.113-07:002010-05-26T15:37:29.113-07:00Gutsy Ah I see the problem with my story now...
