fall down a flight of steps

Worth doing!

because I enjoy telling the story.  — 2 years ago

I was carrying an enormous, heavy, vintage sewing machine built into a table down a flight of steps. I couldn’t see where I was going and I slipped. I managed to fall down the entire flight of steps and land on my feet without hurting either myself or the sewing machine. (Kids: don’t try this at home.)

HA HA HA!

I once fell down 3 flights of steps in a subway station in Madrid, Spain. I didn’t land on my feet. But both myself and my broom emerged relatively unscathed.

that's more impressive

than my story! But why were you carrying a broom down three flights of stairs in a subway station in Madrid?

I found the broom

on the street. Well… I stole it from a garbage collector when he had his back turned. One of those moments of sublime drunkenness when it seemed like I really needed a broom. I think my alcohol intake that night might have had something to do with the spill down the stairs. I was racing a friend to the bottom and she jumped on the escalator (thereby giving her a decided advantage), so I just started running like hell and tripped over my broom. Best fall EVER!

I also won the race. Freefalling will beat running any day.
