I just feel that I have to share this moment of stupidity of mine.

Like all regular people, I was singing in the shower. I reached an awesome part of the song so I did the Freddie Mercury

To add to the epicness, I decided to swing my arm down. However, to avoid hitting the wall, I had to swerve and change my swing angle.
Guess what happened after that. Yep, I whacked myself hard in the balls....sigh...

Anyone have similar experiences?

Not that I'd ever admit to before hundreds of people. I have, however, hit myself in the face with a hammer...more than once.
 
Many years ago, when microwaves first came out (and dinosaurs roamed freely), I tried hard boiling an egg in our microwave.

Put the egg in a little plastic bowl, filled it with water, popped it in the microwave for about 5 minutes, then let it sit and cool off.

Picked up the egg, tapped it with a spoon...

...and my wife and I spent the next few hours cleaning up tiny bits of egg all over our kitchen. And my clothes. And my hair.

And I had to buy new shorts.

When I was younger I tried to mimic a wrestler's (I think it was Booker T) taunt. All I'm going to say is my right hand went into a fan on high speed.

There was another time when I was playing badminton with my younger cousin. In an attempt to show off, I jumped and swung as hard as I could. Missed one birdie, hit the other. I landed in the fetal position. I could hear him laughing his ass off over my moans of pain. I recall my dad coming out and saying, "Supper's ready! Hey, what happened to him?" My cousin simply said, "I don't know." They went in to eat while I held my genitals, almost in tears.

About half way through supper, I slowly made my way into the cottage. My mom asked if I was ready to eat, I raised my hand and shook my head no. I laid down on my bed around 7:30 in the evening and slept for 12 hours.

Why didn't anyone check on me? I was on the ground for at least 15 minutes.
