I'll go first:

Yesterday Evening, after my parents have left to go to my sister's Wedding Rehearsal, I've decided that I was going to do three loads of Laundry. I knew that I would need to be up until at least 11 PM, in order to finish off the Laundry, before I would finally get into Bed. I'm not a Night Owl, so I've came up with a Plan. My plan was to drink two tall cups of Coffee, than two tall cups of Tea and finish off my Caffine Binge with a can of Diet Coke. I've only slept for an hour, all night. In fact, I have such an abundence of energy, that I could take Chico for a walk, right now! The trouble is that it's Twenty after Four in the morning. I'm looking around my Room, asking myself how I could do something so stupid. It's good that I want to help out around the house, but not if it's 6 PM and all of the Laundry Baskets are over-flowing. I'd be better off, enjoying a pleasant cup of Tea and studying the London Routemaster, the next time that my parents go out, for the Evening.

I wouldn't be able to say. I've said and done so many stupid things it's not funny.

I'll plead the 5th on this, except to say that by all rights I should have gotten a Darwin Award on more than one occasion. A lot more than one... :oops:

The other day my mom baked some cookies and I took one as soon as they came out of the oven. It was so hot it was burning my hand, so to stop the pain I shoved it inside my mouth. Ouch.

For me it would have to be a bit of a vandalism spree I went on quite a few years ago. To this day I dont understand my thinking during all of that. One of those things I will pay for (in several ways) for life.

I once stuck a knife in the heating elements of a toaster a few years ago because I wanted to see what happened. I was very lucky to survive.

Did you get hurt too badly? Or do you mean that luckily nothing happened
I only got an electric shock once, from the Christmas Tree lights. When I was a baby I tried to stick a pencil in an outlet. My mom saw me and said that if I did that again I could die. Did I know what dying was No more Paula, it's all over? Did I understand? Hell yeah.

I called my grandmother an egg for no reason whatsoever when I was about 5, she is the sort of lady that gets the pip, and my poor mother had to deal with it.

I opened my heart and had it broken. From now on my heart remains closed.

I didn't hit the boy that beat me up back when I was a kid. I should have.

I can't think of any more, I mean, there's heaps, but I can't be botehred tonight.

There has been so many stupid moments in my life that not 1 sticks out as the most stupidist.

Oops, I meant to say that "I was very lucky not to get hurt". I wasn't even slightly hurt, but it's good that the knife had a plastic handle... :oops:

I think the stupidest thing I ever did was turning my back on a scholarship in electronics, sponsored by AT&T, and getting married right out of hi school, instead. The marriage didn't work, the scholarship had a short expiration date and I blew it, big time.
