About the bra, instead of rock chips the front foot of my car is down to primer. Clearly because of a bra. A w123 with a bra? Really?

Interestingly enough, the door really was disabled....

   
I saw this gem on a pump at a ghetto gas station on the way home from dinner the other night... it's hard to see but on one side there was an eye bolt and the other side there was a couple of zip ties in place of the hinge.

Ok, this sticker was a complete fail. Worked in exactly the opposite fashion, i had people riding up on me to read it, vs reading it and backing off. Fortunately, only cost a few bucks

over the handlebars, managed to bite completely through my lip, chip some teeth and crack a few others. Whoops, going too fast and blew a tire.

The fail here is that I smacked my face into the bicycle, not the ground. Big Grin
Next time mountain bike riding I wear a mouth guard

I think I must have cut through a nerve, because it did not hurt one bit, not even when they sewed it up!
What hurt was my pride, I was riding down a ski mountain, and had literally 10 minutes before gotten a lecture on safety by one of the mountain employees. I was high enough up on the mountain after flying off that I climbed back up to the lift to get a ride down. That was big time humiliating, riding down the lift with all these people coming up saying- "look at this idiot"

I did something like that while snowboarding. Didn't chip any teeth, but smacked my face on hard ice after a jump. That didn't hurt, but what did was my back bending over backwards after the face plant and my pride of having a bloody face finally making it to the bottom with friends giving you a good go around!

Man that sucks! Hope you are feeling ok...Not sure about the lip, but I know the tongue heals pretty quick - ususally in hours.

Here is a pic of the scar on my son's chin from when he did a jump on his dirt bike and hit the handle bars. Yes he was wearing a helmet but, he came down in such a way that his head titled back and smacked the handle bars. He bit a hole in his tongue, luckily he didn't bite a chunk out - it was closed by the time we got to the hospital. We cleaned him up, used butterflies and half a Darvocet did the trick for pain. We went to the hospital and they complimented me on how well we took care of the injury. He ended up getting 4 stitches and I learned how to do sutures for the next time Big Grin
