    This was worthy of a Three Stooges bit. Bumped into my coffee shelf. As I turned away it came off the wall and blindsided me. A glass jar caught me on the corner of my right jaw hinge, which still hurts like I've been punched. That jar was my 1950s instant coffee which has now been swept up and thrown away. A plastic tub of Yuban landed square on my head. Medium grind was down my shirt, on my shoulders, and completely sifted throughout my hair. It took a solid 5 minutes shower just to get it all off me.

    On the upside, I smell great.

    Sorry about the pain in the jaw and broken keepsake, but the coffee shower ......... :happy102:funny. :signs081:

    Today I've had the sewer backing up due a plugged line (thanks to the neighbor), so no flushing or water use till line cleared, but this to shall pass.

    :)

    That's quite the calamity. It sounds like there's no permanent damage thankfully. I am superbly clumsy and am forever bumping into things, hitting my head, and so on. I've lived in this house for 15 years and still find ways to run into stationary objects. All part of the fun I suppose!

    Well at least they fixed it before more than my feet got wet.

    @gorgo2 There is a minimal chance that coffee can kill you, but that won't stop it from trying. Be careful out there....

    One could, at least in theory, over exfoliate.

    I think I have bruised lymph nodes. That's a first.
