Drabble by Kevin Fagan for February 23, 2025

Quick! Before Norm shows up?

I thought it was, “Step on a crack, break your Mama’s back.” But, apparently, “Step on a crack, causes jerks comment on you embarrassment.”

My glasses used to slip down so I got Croakies to keep them in place. Don’t have to worry about them falling off either.

That’s me…without the sidewalk crack…

Yeah, there must be areas of hard air waiting to trip people.

Survival of the fittest will take its toll.

As I get older, I notice that the people who maintain sidewalks are doing an increasingly sloppy job of keeping the slabs in alignment ;-)

See that a lot in the NFL.

Ok, so this one isn’t quite Ralph’s fault. But that doesn’t make it hurt less.

glasses are the last thing I’d be worried about breaking with that kind of a fall

And crowd applauds the effort.

I remember when I first got hearing aids and went out bike riding on a windy day and I thought they may come off and God forbid if I didn’t notice, they’re expensive ($2700) so I got a lanyard made of silicone that fits at the very top of each hearing aid, now I wear them all the time even when I don’t ride. I look like those old folks with glass straps but I don’t care, I AM OLD lol

What a jerk that man is.

GEEZ Ralph, you weren’t even on your phone?!

Where’s the sympathy? Tripping like that hurts your pride and your body!

Ralph won’t be able to walk for a week
