I guess the most retarded thing I have done that comes to mind at the moment was the day I picked up my Kawasaki RD350. I was so excited and was ripping from light to light all the way home. Two blocks from my house I was pulling up to the light a few blocks up the road and this girl was checking me out so I feathered the clutch and cracked the throttle, pulling the front end up and riding it up toward the light and letting it slip down onto both wheels and coasted up to the light. I looked over as the girl in the Mustang pulled up next to me and smiled which turned into a look of horror when I noticed the world falling out from under me.
That was also the moment I noticed that I had not put my foot down...
Oh, one other time my brother was on a walk-board between two ladders and he yelled at me to do something even if it was wrong. I was hung over, hell I was still drunk

and I complained and cussed under my breath all the way up to this ladder I needed which I snatched so I could climb up on the roof of the house we were working on. The end of the walk board dropped past my nose and bounced off the pool deck and I was bent over looking for my brother in the pool when I heard from above me. "You going to put that ladder back or do you expect me to hang around up here all day?"
Mike had his arms wrapped around the beam in front of him and was hanging down 8 feet above the deep end of the pool.
