clean underwear....

[Ender]

Just thought I'd give you guys a chance to laugh at me.

back in about 2002, i was in college and ended up with a psycho roommate. I screwed up bad on this one. (his father was a chubby kicker for the Lions a while back, not that it is relevant to the story besides my stupidity in not suing him for his trust fund)

so one fine morning a buddy from downstairs comes up and invites me out for a smoke. I had just thrown all of my laundry in and didn't have any underwear. I threw on a pair of jeans and some slippers, had a few choice words with 'the roommate' and headed out.

he came from behind and shoved me down the stairs. I screwed up bad by turning away from him. long story short, a dislocated ankle and broken leg later, cops and ems on scene, I end up in the ER.

as they ask me if they should cut my pants off or try to take them off without hurting me (i said 'take them off, I can't afford new ones right now :lol, i say..."can I at least keep my underwear on?"

at this point i realize...i don't have any underwear on. literally the one and only time in my life i went outside without underwear, and I end up in the ER.

go fucking figure.

Going Commando, huh Ender? No need to worry, I'm sure the nurses and doctors in the ER have seen it all many times before. But I will say this. It sure would have sucked to be you at that time.

heh...I said, "you can take my pants, but can you at least leave my underwear on? oh...i don't have underwear."

the nurse says, "there is no modesty in here anyways."

and yeah, they've seen it all many, many times. luckily I don't get embarrassed. I got lucky in the long run...I thought my ankle was shattered (you know its bad when the EMT says 'holy shit!'), but turns out it was just dislocated. for about 10 seconds I thought i had a compound fracture, but when I looked closer it was just really torn up skin

when I tried to stand up on it my neighbor almost puked

Please tell me your roommate spent the night in the pokey...

Please tell me your roommate spent the night in the pokey...

two and a half days.

calling the apartment begging for someone to bail him out (he couldn't reach his mommy) eta: the police said they couldn't arrest him at first for 'simple assault,' but then one of the officers remembered a recently passed law regarding 'domestic incidents' which applied to roommates as well as couples and such....it fit nicely

every time i answered the phone i got a recording: "this is the isabella county jail with a collect call from" CLICK.

then when i got a PPO against him (to keep him from living in the apartment), he said, "thats the shittiest thing anybody has ever done to me."

He should try pushing himself down the stairs.

A great southern story teller, Lewis Grizzard, said his mother always said to wear clean underwear in case he was in a bad car wreck. H claimed to have always responded with "Mom, if I am in a bad car wreck my underwear wont be clean anyway."

hehe...

After the incident, I realized how lucky i was to have no serious injuries. aside from the 'major' injuries where i spent 6 weeks in a cast and limped for another two weeks, i was good to go. haven't had a pain since...can't even tell when the weather is changing.

I scraped up my forehead pretty good on the wall, and my ankle as well. when the EMTs arrived, my leg was covered by my jeans; they were asking me questions about my head/conscious state/etc, and basically said, "why are we here?"

I lifted my pant leg a little bit to reveal my foot parallel from my leg and the EMT says, "holy shit!" for a second or two i was thinking the same thing, from his reaction

i REALLY wish i had a picture of it, it was pretty cool!

Laughed at this one. Back in high school I got into a very bad horse riding accident...and after I found my arm again (which was bent behind me where it wasn't supposed to be ), I thought to myself..."whew..glad I have on clean, underwear without any holes".

My mom harped on that for years...that and always have a quarter so you can call home in an emergency. Gosh I love my Mom.
