I tried to disprove this one personally.
My results so far have been poor.
I just realised writing this down – all I need to do is toss a coin.
Something I could have done forty years ago.
Isn’t it amazing how the best ideas are always the ones you chastise yourself for not thinking of in the first place?
So I went out busking, got myself a coin.
Got myself ready. The edge I said to myself.
I tossed the coin.
No.
I tried again. It has to be the edge eventually.
I’ve been on edge most of my life – that has to be a sign.
Th edge I said and tossed the coin again.
The experiment continues.
Wish me luck.
Anyone else done anything stupid in their lives?
What did you do?
There’s no judgement here….
(until after you tell me what it is)
This is my go at #1linerweds Check out Lindas page and everyone else having a go.
I did something stupid. I liked a post when I didn’t really. I’m not saying which one it was because that would be stupid!

“Anyone else done anything stupid in their lives?” You wrote that as if you expect there to be that one thing we did that was stupid. I guess that might work if you bundle up everything I did during my first marriage and call it a combo-meal. Yeah, there was that.

That was stupid of me 🙂 sometimes some things are so stupid they stand out. I guess you were going for consistency during the days of the combo-meal 🙂

Waking up in a place that wasn’t my own and not having the faintest idea on where I was and how I got there.
The hang over was brutal!

strangely enough I think I went to the races there. One guy I remember was a professor in copenhagen but got a job cleaning toilets in copenhagen airport. He used to cycle in everyday. Sent him a postcard from Samuel Johnsons favourite pub saying how clean the toilets were….. my anecdote for the day

I guess I have done lots of stupid things in my life. The worst two stupid things that come to my mind are getting married at 20 and then getting married again at 53. Disaster both times.

but was it living with an open heart and entirely good sense to end them? Not stupid at all 🙂

You’re right , it wasnt stupid at the time. Very brave of me to leave when I did. I just often think back and think I was stupid. 🙂

Back when people still had stereos, the plastic lid of the turntable had a sticky spot on it from where someone had removed the tag that movers place on furniture, but left the residue. I tossed a nickel and it landed on its edge on the sticky spot. Heads I lose, tails I lose, edge I get a true story that hardly anyone else ever gets.

It reminds me of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead where they flip a coin over an over and it only comes up heads.

It’s more a comment on free will, in my humble opinion. See the movie with Tim Roth and Gary Oldman… and Richard Dreyfess… Directed by Tom Stoppard…
