Ok, so this will prove that I'm the clumsiest ass on the planet! So, when I leave from work at night, I leave from the Event Center at Mandalay Bay, and walk past a really swanky and expensive restaruant called Strip Steak! Now, on the outside of this fine establishment there's a sign with an interactive menu and the name of the restaurant that goes from floor to ceiling! A couple of days ago, I'm walking after work with my friend and co-worker, Jarrett. We're "shootin' the shit" just talking about everything on our walk out of Mandalay Bay. Now, right past Strip Steak tucked in a corner are exit doors that lead out to the parking garage, and that's the shortcut we're gunning for. While briskly walking I mention that my daughter should be calling me about a ride home, about 5 seconds after that my phone is abuzz with the text message my daughter has sent me. Now completely interested in my cell phone and paying no attention to where I'm going, fishing for my phone in my suit jacket...I slam head first in the huge sign at Strip Steak! I mean walking at full stride like I was on a mission and completely mash myself into this sign!! Now that I'm stunned...I take a step back, the hostess at Strip Steak is doubled over laughing...past her, folks at the bar are laughing...past them, everyone in the restaurant (the front is all glass) is laughing at me! I turn around to survey the damage around me, everyone within earshot is pointing and laughing. Embarassed as all hell I limp past the sign and scramble out of the exit doors! I make it to my car....aww fuck it, now I'm laughing.
So now a few days have passed and I have a slight limp, my knee really hurts...but on a positive note...I didn't drop my cell phone!
