Not many people know this about me but I am accident prone, and I mean for my sixteenth birthday my dad gave me a first aid kit. Now let me give you a background story. I have a very small tolerance to pain and I faint at the sight of blood. I have fainted 21 times in my life and I have broken my left knee once, my left elbow twice, and all of my fingers. I have more scars than I can count and I have stories for every fall and accident that has ever happened.
Every time I tell a story of one of my many accidents I can't help but laugh. They are hysterical because they happen at the most comical times. One of the most comical experiences I have had is when I broke my knee. I was in the middle of a tennis match. We were changing sides so we were allowed to go to the bathroom or grab water, but we had to be quick. I decided to run to the bathroom. As I am jogging to bathroom my knee suddenly pops. I don't fall, slip, or trip. It just pops, and I am suddenly unable to bend my knee. I'm like "well shit this isn't good," but I proceed to the bathroom. I go back to the court and try to play. After losing the next two games my coach comes onto the court very unhappy. This is where I figure out I should probably tell my coach, so low and behold I am forced to forfeit the match. Not only that, but when people ask me how did you break your knee? I now have to answer, "oh you know running to the bathroom."
Incidents like this one are just simple everyday occurrences in my life. For example, two days ago I had to call my RA because I sliced my finger open with my razor when picking up my shower caddy and it was gushing blood, and I faint when I see blood. But these are simple examples of relief theory, because at the time the blood coming out of my finger was not funny, but now its hysterical. I mean who has to call their RA to put a bandaid on their finger for them. I think Funny Bone humor is one of the best humor, specially when you can look at yourself and laugh.
Do you think that being accident prone makes this more funny? I do think I perhaps don't find such things as funnier as others, and maybe that's because I try not to be clumsy and really get angry at myself when I do. Has it made it funnier for you?
