I have an accident prone life time friend. Everywhere he goes he either trips, bumps, falls and/or breaks shit in general.
He has the heart of a lion, but is....'unlucky'.
He has lots going for him and is instantly loved by everyone who meets him. He is good looking (so Im told), smart, and funny. He always got straight A's and eventually landed a job earning a shitload. He has amazing charisma, is inoffensive and always first to laugh at himself. People laugh with him not at him.

Years ago, when I went to his place, he was limping really badly. He had a permanent kinda grimace.

He had apparently been lifting weights. He had decided to use his coffee table for a bench press. The ONLY thing he had forgotten was.....it had a GLASS top! The minute he lay back on it and attempted to lift the weights, he heard a crackling sound. He couldnt work out where it was coming from, and continued with (what he thought)his brilliant idea.
Of course, the crackling preceeded an almighty CRASH. He ended up on the floor with the weights pinning him down. He had to scream for his neighbors to help him. When they entered the blood splattered crime scene and realised what he had done, they just could not beleive any one could be that stupid!
As he fell through the table, large shards of glass tore and slashed at his back resulting in 42 stiches!

I have known this dude most of my life.
One day, when I went to his place, he was in the shower. I asked his Dad where he was and he said "hes in the shower and hopefully he can't get into any trouble in there".
Before his Dad finished the sentence, his naked, dripping son appeared with a puzzled look on his face...in his hands?... The ENTIRE shower head!
The house was old and the shower had NEVER needed so much as a washer changed.
Somehow (and it remains a mystery) he managed to rip the whole thing completely out of the wall while trying to adjust it. Water was gushing out of the hole where the shower had once been. When he tried to turn the taps off, in his panic had turned them the wrong way. They were so tight they wouldnt budge! i still remember his Dad muttering something under his breath as he went out to turn the water off at the main. A plumber was called to fix the disaster zone that was once their bathroom. I was rolling around the kitchen floor pissing myself. It was better than any comedy I have ever seen. I am still smiling as I write this.
Truth is stranger than fiction huh?!
