Lack of prior planning

I have a good lesson for all of you today. Always think through what you are about to do, give it some time, think about the consequences. Also, remember that towels can and WILL break lightbulbs.

Huh?

A fly has been buzzing around my house for a bit now. It has eluded me like only flies can. It followed me into the bathroom and I was at the end of my rope. So, I made a whip out of a small towel and struck for it in the air, once, twice, then CRACK! went one of the vanity lights. Hmph.

So now envision this. You are standing in a bathroom, with two exposed wires that could cause quite a shock, the floor is littered with broken shards of glass, and you have no shoes on! I tiptoed out of the minefield and collected a broom.

I even found glass in the bathtub.

Luckily I escaped with no injuries and used a headlamp to replace the light and clean the floor.

The fly is nowhere to be found....so rolled up towels can kill flies....or at least shrapnel from broken lightbulbs can do the job...not sure which, but it is a deadly combination for all.
