A Tendency to be Briefly Dumb.

Have you ever leapt with gusto through an open door, only to hit the lintel above it with your forehead and end up flat on your back with a serious headache?

I have.

I think this might turn into a series. You’d be surprised at the number of serious blows I’ve taken to my head. Some of them were legitimate – like the sort you get playing rugby or defending yourself against a bunch of thugs who follow you down the road from the bus stop one dark night – but most were occasioned through temporary bouts of forgetting to be careful. I had the same problem with electricity. Shocks galore, and much embarrassment.
