Default Oh that? Just something Lefty showed me .....

I've read a lot about falling, how to avoid, how to do properly, how to
get up from, but one bit of advice is always missing….. the face-saving,
nonchalant "explanation", ideally implying more or less that the whole
business was not necessarily unintentional.

So what is the best, most insouciant line to try on one's companions while
they're offering their assistance and commiseration, all the while gagging
on their half-stifled laughter, the godless conscienceless *******s…..

Well, if you're prone to such Reiding around, and don't have the
inventor's grace about it all, then I can think of a few things...

Before the, er, "trip," get a compressible "Bozo" wig and pig snout from
a costume shop and hide them about your kit. Then slip the godless
*******s just enough peyote to keep 'em wondering. If a pratfall should
befall you, simply slip on the wig and nose as you recover, and then run
up to them and excitedly proclaim, "HOLY ****!! THE WHOLE BOTTOM IS
COVERED WITH THESE PLAID KUMQUATS!! THEY'RE FANTASTIC!!
YOU GOTTA TRY THEM!!" At this point, the looks on their faces should
tell you they're a little freaked out, but trying to decide just how
good those kumquats might actually be, if they aren't out trying to find
some for themselves...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, pretty tame stuff, but you DID say you wanted
insouciant...now, if you wanted something a little wild, what I'd do is
get 6...er, nevermind...not sure about the legalities of extr...hmmm,
better not say anymore...

HTH,
