So I was over my friend's house swimming yesterday, and we were playing water volleyball. So we're playing it, and the ball goes into the spa. I jump into the spa and more or less LAND ON THIS POLE that moves water up like a fountain! It wasn't moving any water, and was white PVC, so I didn't see it at all. I snap the pole at it's base, but now I have an eight inch by two inch abrasion over the dead center of my chest :( I don't think I can go swimming for about a week until it heals :( It hurts like a mofo too

Not really. I did a hell of a lot of bleeding though. And to make it worse, I had a girl with me and it was her first time meeting most of my closest friends. It couldn't have been a worse day for this to happen.

I'm sorry. :(

You're lucky you weren't cannonball-ing into the spa. Hard time explaining a PVC pipe up your rear.

I hope you feel better soon.

Of course he didn't cry!

Are you people stupid?

<< I had a girl with me >>

If that isn't even motivation not to cry, I don't know what the hell is wrong with you!

:D

BTW, I bet that hurt man. You sure you didn't break any ribs (pvc pipeing is very rough on the cut end too :()

yeeeouch!

I was reading and once I got to the part about landing on the pole, I burst out laughing. Oh well, I'm evil and assume the worst. :) Damnit, if I had a girl with me, break my arm and I wouldn't cry. Of course... unless you're trying to go for that sensitive type guy who shows his feelings.

Nope but his dad was pretty mad. The first thing he said was, &quot;And the whole water shooting out of the pole didn't tip you off that it was there?&quot;

Oh well. John told me today that it was only about $10 to fix, and that his mom was more concerned that I'm feeling good than the status of a pipe.

And no way was I going to cry with this girl here....

YEAH!

Just because something is staring you right in the face doesn't mean you should see it. :D

You should come up with your own catch phrase for this event....something like Look Before You Leap

Oh Wait, that one has been around awhile.

Yea - you made it sound like he was furious

BTW, it's more like &quot;I attacked a stationary object yesterday :(&quot; seeing as how you jumped on the pole ;)

just a suggestion by me: don't (ever) go back to his house again, unless you happen to be going to kick the living sh1t out of that a$$hole...
