Everyone has seen those comedy movies where the guy walking down the street turns to look at the beautiful girls walking by and slams his head into a street sign or a parking meter. Very few men would actually do that in real life, right? Well, I did, and I’m here to say that it was well worth the pain I went through.

I was walking down the sidewalk on our busy main street shortly after the college was back in session, minding my own business, when two of the most amazing girls I had ever seen were walking toward me. I’m sure these beautiful girls were used to guys like me staring at them and paid no attention to me at all until I fell through that plate glass window.

Now, I didn’t just fall through a window. It was more like a pinball game where I bounced off a few things first, then went through the window while trying to catch my balance. It wasn’t until after they had already past me that, being a male, I turned to check out their backsides. That’s when I walked right into the trashcan, knocking it over and dumping everything on the sidewalk. The two beautiful girls heard it and turned around to start giggling at me as I chicken walked over it and stumbled into the parking meter. Thank God it wasn’t shorter or I wasn’t taller as it hit me just below the chest, which forced me to turn and bump into the parked car. That’s when the car alarm went off.

Now, these two gorgeous girls started to laugh a bit more as I jumped away from the car, catching a heel on the trash can and, in an attempt to turn and catch myself, I crashed through the window. Not only that, but it was a swimwear shop window and I pulled the display down on top of me. The beautiful girls came over and helped me up as I reached and took the bikini top off of my head.

It would have been an epic movie moment for one of the great comedic actors of our times and couldn’t have been set up any better. But I am glad it happened as they were nice enough to take me to lunch. I ended up dating one for a few months and then married her. Sometimes life is a funny thing.
