Okay, I probably shouldn't put this on livejournal, because some of you may wince a little bit. However, I think it's funny. Tonight I found out just how flexible I am, and just how flexible I'm not.
I got sent out to PD2, which is happening a lot now for reasons I will disclose at a later date. I stepped outside one of the trucks I was loading to break a jam. When I came back, I stepped on a box that I didn't see. There wasn't much of anything in there because I made a groove in the box just large enough to get my boot stuck to the box. At that point, my right leg lunged forward........way forward to the point where I did a nearly complete, forward split. To add to it, my left foot was pointing left, to the point where I felt like my knee was about to twist. Fortunately that didn't happen.
Roger saw me, and being Roger, he laughed and said "Oooooh, that's going to hurt." I may only be 21, but I think I can say without reservation that I'm getting too old for for stunts like that, lol. (especially after someone who will remain nameless referred to me as an "old man." ;-))
