Ouch! that hurts SC I hate those minor fuckups with MAJOR costs
the other day fresh was again battling with a stuck (ground glass ) stopcock trying all sorts of slippery solutions on the mofo...when...squilch!
the mofo squeaks out of my hands in this elegant upwards arc...for the first 0.3sec and the gravity took over and I watched the sepfunnel plummet down to the lino covered concrete floor Nooooooo!!!
I had that arse tightening feeling, like when you were a kid and you had just sent a ball (or 'other' projectile) hurtling towards a window...and you just KNOW the fuckers gonna break and there'll probably be all sorts of unpleasant consequences
So I watch this delicate teardrop shaped piece of glass like it's in slooow motion arc down to the floor with a heavy heart as I rapidly calculate the cost...
And the fucker BOUNCED!!! I couldn't believe it! Bounced about 30cms in the air, came down, bounced again....and again and again until it stopped with fresh slack jawed (and pleasantly surprised ) at what just occured.
I knew glass is 'elastic' but this was almost like magic
Why can't ALL my glass bounce when given the opportunity? Damnnnn
