This Explains A Lot
When I was just a wee lad of 2 or so one day my father left a ladder leaning up against the wall in our garage.
So, naturally, I climbed up it.
And leaned back at the top.
And pulled the ladder over.
And rode that sucker all the way as it scribed an arc across the sunlight gleaming through the windows on a glorious Jersey morn.
All the way to the concrete.
Yes, this explains a lot.

Mr. Bingley, you realize, I hope, that you just admitted to being dropped on your head as a child.

It's more like "self body slamming."

Well, if you want it done right, do it yourself. :D

I had nothing to do with it.

Awwwww, look at that boo-boo! (What is it New Yorkers say? "Talk about an 'E' ticket ride"?)

A likely story....

I think Mr. Bingley is clearly a victim here... I dare say that the ladder was not labeled correctly. In fact, the argument can be made that both Bingley the Elder as well as Bingley the Lesser are still entitled to a trip to the court of their choice for their shot at the tort lottery.
I hear John Edwards has some free time...

Not to mention the child p@rn charges for photographing his injuries while his piteous body was naked in the tub.
Or is that an art piece?

Dude. You're so lucky. I had to wait until I was in my teens to get my first black eye!
I did take a trip up a ladder, at three, that got my ass cheeks beat up around my ears, though. Seems the grown up peeps don't like seeing their kiddies climb to the top of a silage silo.
