Fat Lady SMACK DOWN

Man... this is a good way to start Easter. I finished work early today at 3 so went on a shopping spree and about 5pm I decided Id get a feed of curry and rice and wandered over to this bench thing with fixed stools. I had my new linen pants on and they were a bit slippery. As I sat down my bum slipped to the back of the stool as I tried to put my feet up on the rest that wasn't there. I fell straight back and I heard this funny sound like a belly flop smacking really hard on the water and realized it was me, legs up in the air, flat on my back, unhurt but a bit dazed. This gorgeous young girl was sitting about 3 seats down from me and come to my rescue. Once we realized I was OK then came the act of trying to get up. Her being about 6 stone meant there was no possibility of using her as leverage. I past her my bag and said I just need to get on all 4s then I can get up. Once up she handed my bag to me and I said sorry about all that and she said " totally understand, these things happen to everyone" I said "well yeah but its usually only when alcohol is involved. " oh, yes that's happened to me too" and we laughed. I turned my attention to the job at hand (eating) and was watching this bloke who had seen the whole thing from a distance of about 10 metres. He must of seen me sit down, then disappear, then perched back on my stool, but he didn't miss a beat just keep eating coz I remember I was looking at him before the smack down. While assessing him I heard the little girl next to me sobbing and I thought poor little bugger I wonder whats wrong with her. Any way it was getting louder and turned to look at her, just as she roared laughin and took off running and holding her belly. Godde I cant stop laughing at this episode. I'm so glad that girl laughed because that's what I would have done. And thats what I'm doing now.
