What is one thing you can laugh at yourself for now that you know better?

Farting in Elevators

That's OK as long as it's when you're leaving it.

How much space do I have here and how much time do you have?

Suffice to say a mature man can get smarter when he allows himself to lose ownership of his old thoughts that he was keeping just because they were his.

I am older than most here and let me share with you that I have learned more about life and myself in the last 10 years than the previous 60 combined. It is only too late to learn, and change, when you decide that.

My greatest lesson has to do with Winny's thread title only I didn't look back with laughter but with anger and disappointment in myself. I carried my guilt and regrets forward so the past was a curse on the present, reliving those decisions and beating myself up.

If you can look back and laugh, power to you. If you can't, let it go as a lesson learned and be the better for it.

on one of my bigfoot hunts years ago i tried my first wood knock using a mini bat.
never played baseball so i knew nothing about swingin' away.
found a tree....perfect spot near the bank of the n canadian and let'er rip.
that sucker immediately on contact came right back and put a knot on my forehead.
damn that hurt.
but that knock was a good'n tho.
so was the knot on my forehead.
im a little more observant now about my swing placement in relation to my head.

* man, I had an old one legged friend who was gonna sell me 65 acres just about 1 mile North of that Canadian River for 35k( I deeply regret not having the scratch to of snagged it)

When i was 16 made the mistake of going to bed with a basically empty tank of gas with way below freezing temps. Next morning, get up and sure nuff the gas line going into the carb was frozen. Lesson learned.

Thinking a football game was worth ruining my week.

this. When I used to play Madden I would play all week long if the Cowboys won. If they lost I turned off all games and refused to touch Madden until they won again.

but the funny thing about this topic is that I know too many people have never even considered things they would laugh at as they're incapable of doing such, they would simply double down on whatever argument is made.

edit: To add I will say I've broken a few controllers when I was younger. It has nothing to do with being violent or angry, you just get caught up in a competitive environment and certain things trigger your emotions, like getting beat to a guy in madden who abuses some things in a game like madden. I would never want to see someone do this and it's something I'll never do again. And when you realize how dumb you were for doing such all you're thinking of is "now I have to buy another controller, so stupid".

Soooooo much to pry into here. Fisticuffs or redneck pugilism, just why you had that anvil and wanted to move it but I think I want to begin with that damn mule.
