DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME, BOYS AND GIRLS

“There’s no fool, like an old fool.”

The old man got into the recliner on his knees facing the back of the chair. As he was leaning on the back of the chair talking to the person in the next room, he put all of his weight on the back of the chair and it reclined sending him forward toward the floor. Miraculously he was able to recover before he went headlong onto the stone floor.

Accidents happen like a storm over Arizona. Out of the blue they come and sometimes they are devastating.

Why did the old man climb into the chair on his knees, looking over the back instead of reclining like he should? Who knows? “There’s no fool, like an old fool.”

And I thought I could ride the bucking bull at Harold’s Corral.
