That WASN'T the sound of Big Ben chiming...

…but it WAS the sound of my big, fat forehead WHACKING AGAINST the sharp, unforgiving metal corner of the evil hanging frame that holds up the television & VCR in the far end of my classroom.

A brief pause as we wait for the ECHOING MOAN — which peaked with a rather yelping “OUCH” at the moment of impact — to fade away…

There was pain…there were gasps…and there was ME…nearly slicing open my forehead, and now nursing a wonderful, red goose-egg. I suppose I should be grateful that it only bled a little!

* SIGH *

First, my aching back…now, my throbbing head…tomorrow, I will no doubt suffer some drastic and sudden amputation of the arm or the leg. Otherwise, the symmetry would be incomplete…

Bloody karma! I shall have my revenge on YOU as well…as soon as I figure out HOW to wage war with higher powers…and as soon as this damn (and very LITERAL) headache disappears.

Bloody karma…!
