* sigh! *
The year is drawing to a close. I'm a year older, and I caught myself doing that ill-advised act of looking back at my life, trying to see if it was a good-quality life, wondering what kind of Legacy I might be leaving behind.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stick my head in the oven...
Oh, wait, that won't work -- all my appliances are electric.

Ah, that takes me back!
I was in a dunking booth back during my freshman year in college. For some unknown reason, the arm mechanism malfunctioned whenever it was my turn to be on the perch, so I never fell in when a ball hit the target. (It worked perfectly for everybody else.)
Finally, after another ball hit the target and I stayed perfectly dry, the guy who was running the booth came other and, after resetting the arm, pulled it back. He reset the arm again and pulled it back.
"You know," he said very loudly so that all could hear, "some people might think you've found a way to rig this thing."
"Yeah," I said, "I can see how somebody might think that." I had no idea where he was going with this.
He pulled the arm back again. "So," he gave me a slightly annoyed look -- I guess he figured I simply couldn't be as naive as I was acting -- as he asked, "did you rig this so you wouldn't get your swimsuit wet?" He kept resetting and pulling back the arm.
"Absolutely not! And if I did know how to do it, I'd probably accidentally rig it to fling me over the cage and end up breaking something."
Finally, a volunteer firefighter balanced himself on the edge of the tank so he could stomp on an unoccupied area of the perch and cause it to collapse on cue.
LOL EW!! Ho so very kind of that firefighter. I'm sure you would much rather have preferred everybody to think you were either (a) magic, (b) light as a feather or (c) both
And LOL Ghost!! Once again we see that it really is the Swan who has all the power in G-Force.

Though I'm surprised Jason didn't decide it was totally worth it!
EW: LOLOL I'm surprised they didn't purposely dunk you a few times after fixing it!
