Bonk
This afternoon, the hubs and I decided to take the kids out to ice cream. We piled into the van and as we made our way across town, the glare from the sun shifted from the front of the car to the side. The hubs, machismo fully engaged, reached up and gave the sun visor a sharp swing. There was a solid clunk, and then he reached his hand up and pushed the visor the rest of the way to the side window.
"Did you just hit yourself in the head with the visor?" I asked, knowing full well that he had.
"Uh, no." He replied, apparently ignorant of the red welt marring his forehead.
"Yeah, you did."
"Nope."
"I'm laughing now." I started giggling.
"If you must. It's not funny."
"Pshaw. It's SO funny, welt-head."

We men require our dignity, no matter how stupid we appear. The reason why men should not be in politics.

But did it alter his weltanschaung? Or views on weltbevolkerung?
Welt, oo tell you the truth, I don't think it was the first time, honey.

Um...better than shutting his own head in the car door. Sorry to say I know this from first hand experience this weekend.

LOL.
This weekend I pulled the visor down on my husband's car and was hit in the eye with his palm pilot. OUCH.
I happened to be on the phone with him at the time and he said, 'I wondered if that would happen.' Gee thanks, love ya too.
And yes I was driving with no hands, oh great multi tasker that I am ;-)

Sun visors are an incarnation of the devil. I've never had one in any car that hasn't had it in for my poor noggin. Damn them!

Women (well, me) have denied those kind of things too.

Poor guy. Who hasn't fallen on their ass in front of an entire crowd of people, belongings strewn every which way, skirt up around their shoulders, and quickly jumped up, dusted one's self off, surveyed said crowd, and decided no harm done, nobody saw that? Uh, ok, maybe that was just me.

I'd laugh, but then I'd have to own up to the fact that I skewered myself in the crotch with the side mirror - yeah, I'm that tall.
Laughing anyway ;o)

I think that's a man thing, that type of head clonking.
