Another Episode of Retardedness

I don't usually do too many stupid things...okay...stop laughing. Let's just say that when I do something stupid I'm usually pretty honest about it. Yesterday, for example, marked the entrance into a new and uncharted realm of retardedness that I have not had the pleasure of experiencing. That realm, is realm of delayed reactions.

Delayed reactions occur when ever something stimulates you, but your body doesn't respond until later. Double takes are examples of this on a very small scale. What happened yesterday was much more complex. We had a little theatre gathering at UVSC that included refreshments at the conclusion. I held in my hands a napkin, two cookies, and a cup of juice. They were easily quite manageable for any normal person.

My act of severe retardedness occurred when a girl bumped into me. It would have been mildly retarded to just drop the cookies and drink. This would have been somewhat acceptable. Instead; nothing. Nothing happened. She said 'excuse me' and went on her way. I didn't drop anything and everything appeared to be okay. That's when retardedness struck.

Moments later I found myself bobbling my cookies and drink, and then; D'OH! I dropped them on the floor. No one had touched me for a good ten seconds. I really wish I could have seen what it looked like. So I figured out that all it could have been was a severely delayed reaction from that girl who bumped into me. That was retarded.
