    Another Lucky Day

    Someone is looking out for me, for sure.
    I must be accident prone.
    Working to secure an industrial overhead door this weekend, the door came loose, fell down and smacked me on the head. I was sitting on the floor at the time. It happened so fast I didn't see it happening at all.
    It's a lucky thing that it didn't break my neck.
    Fred Sanford must have been watching over me.

    I became aware of the door as soon as it hit me on the head.
    Ah, hindsight is 20-20 and all that

    Since we know your ok after having a door hit you in the head...the question must be asked, what condition is the door in?

    Glad your ok. Tho I would have stepped up an drank your share of the Crown if you had to recuperate. I'm that kind of stand up fellow.

    After being hit on the head by a rolla door, it'd be more like 20-20-20-20

    Did you see stars?

    Some guy in New York just died when a tape measure fell from above and hit him in the head.
