That's a fun exercise and a funny story, except for the mild concussion and resulting symptoms 🥵. I love anything that hints at slapstick, even if I am the brunt of the joke. I recently took a class to learn about my new sewing machine. I was sitting at two tables that were placed in an L. I dropped something and bent down to pick it up. I rose quickly and nearly knocked myself out on the underside of one of the tables, even drawing blood. It was a small group of five students, and no one even noticed as they were all busy sewing away on their machines. I laughed for weeks about it.

Extremely different to your other experiments. Absolutely found this ludicrously enjoyable, though.

Hahaha! By the end I just went with it and let it flow all over me. Definitely made me laugh. Ridiculously different. Thanks so much.

Thanks, Beth! I actually think I could have shoehorned in a few more!

I had to shield my eyes for most of this one, Terry - is it safe to come out yet? 😆

Another superb experiment in style! I've made a note to handle my adjerb* sprinkler with a very light touch if I find myself tempted to add any garnish to my next post!

*Yup. Made-up word. Needed doing.

If the writing is good enough, you don't need no garnish. (And yours always is, Rebecca.)

Great job. Absolutely cringe-worthy. Twain was right.
