A Laurel and Hardy moment.

I had a Laurel and Hardy moment this morning. I was going through the utility room to the garage and didn't know that one of our contractors was working on a light fixture above the door in the garage. AND that he had propped the ladder against the door. As soon as I turned the knob, the door swung in and the ladder and it's passenger came down on my right shoulder and left wrist. Fortunately, it hit me just below the clavicle or it would have snapped. The wrist took the brunt of the force since the door tilted the ladder and the weight to my left. At first my left little finger felt weird and numb, but that was due to the blood that running down it. Nothing broken, and no one seriously hurt. Sheesh, and I'm paying this guy.

Dang Pat...glad you're ok.

So which one was Laurel and which was Hardy? Having Hardy land on you would have been more damaging I would think.

Well, since Stan was always the one getting the duo in “another fine mess,” I guess that makes me Ollie. But, that's where the resemblance ends.
