Yep. It's not often that I get to add something to my Top Ten Stupidest Things I've Ever Done, but ladies and gentlemen, it's with trembling fingers that I proclaim this list-worthy. It doesn't nearly dislodge the time when I was 15 and was hanging curtains and I tried to get a little closer by standing on the back of a chair, thereby violently tipping the chair and sending me flying through a picture window...but then, that's a pretty high bar.
