Need a Good Laugh?!?

Well, the following story should provide that laugh for you...here it goes...

So, Paul is coaching the girls hockey team and he asked me to come and skate with them. No problem ... I think to myself....I can skate...I sure as hell can't play hockey, but he just wants me to skate...alrighty then

I convince Lisa to come with me (she has played hockey before) and as we're sitting in the dressing room, Lisa convinces me to dress up in one of the boys' goalie equipment..you know, for shits and giggles....well giggle we did.

First Problem - I have no frickin' clue how to put on goalie equipment. Once I get the pants on, I can't bend over to tie up my skates. So I call for help. Russell comes in to dress me up. Yup. So, on goes the pants, the skates, the goalie pads (for this, I had to lie on my stomach on the dressing room floor of which only God knows what it contains...) and then on goes the chest protector, the jersey, and of course the helmut.

Second Problem - I can't move! I can't bend! And I sure as hell can't skate if I can't even bend my legs. But I try to look like I know what I'm doing and I hobble out of the room and make my way to the ice.

Third Problem - as soon as I step onto the ice, I fall flat on my ass...yuppers, can't bend my knees to get up, I'm laughing uncontrollably... good times...why the hell am I doing this?!? LOL...

Fourth Problem - well, actually its the reason for the second and third problems -- the goalie pads are supposed to come up past your knees by a few inches, these goalie pads came up to my hips...hello!?!? problems...nothing but problems

nonetheless, they were problems that initiated a lot of laughter...and for that, I thought I must share this story.

And yes, pictures were taken...once I get my hands on those pictures, I will post one... Happy Friday!
