Kilted Spills and Mishaps

[Curnir]

A caribbean cruise about a year ago.

In the buffet restaurant at lunch time. Wet plastic floors, slippery as ice.

I slipped, fell and fractured my left femur neck. The ship went by miami and the USCG brought me to shore where the amubulance took me to Mt Sinai.

3 stainless steel screws in my femur neck is the result of that trip.

I wore the kilt for all the Xrays and MRIs, and right up until I went under.

They put my kilt in a plastic bag with the word "bio hazard" on it.

My front porch has ten wooden steps down to the concrete walk. Early one Sunday morning in July I had just gotten out of the shower and decided I would just throw on a kilt and Tshirt and step out to get the Sunday paper. I didn't realize it had rained the night before and had blown wet pine needles all over the steps. I slipped my Keen sandals on and went out; I got one step down, my foot slipped and I fell, both feet flying out, sandals sailing into the yard and kiltfluttering up about my waist. I scraped up by back and backside pretty good but luckily the only one to find out "the answer" was one of the neighborhood cats.

Does going Butt over Tincup on a wet tile floor and breaking ones great toe at a pool party count if one is heading to the change room to don ones kilt?: Note to self, Don't do that again, even if the recreational substances they give you at the E.R make it fun to lose games like "find your foot" and "try to clap"

Came home from a formal night out and my daughter choked on the cup of tea she was drinking and sprayed me from head to toe. Fortunately it mostly sponged off and went to the cleaners next day.

Not really a spill or fall, but while walking back to our hotel on the Las Vegas strip last April I managed to not notice an active air vent in the sidewalk. It was very crowded and I did a rather magnificent "Marilyn Monroe" impression, according to my wife. I'm sure there's video of me online somewhere...the tourists around me applauded.

I've shared this experience here before, but it is worth repeating. In December of last year, I was on my way to the bank. I hit a patch of ice in a parking lot on the way to the bus stop. I went down, the kilt went up. I landed on my back with my apron up around my chin. Luckily the restaurant that the parking lot was for was closed, and there was a 4-5' snowbank around. Had there been anyone around, they sure would have got an answer.
