    My work-related accident left my boss in tears... of laughter.

    I had an accident at work yesterday. Did the right thing and filled out the standard accident report form. There wasn't enough room on the form to describe the accident though so I prepared a statement to attach to the report, the text of which is copied here. It left my boss collapsed on her desk, laughing uncontrollably and with with tears streaming from her eyes. Here folks ... for your entertainment is what did it to her: (oh, I work in Admin at a place that looks after adults with an intellectual disability ... those are the 'residents' I refer to)

    Accident Report, 28 March

    I was kicking a couple of soccer balls around with a group of residents. This was interesting as wherever they tried to kick the ball it always seemed to pass about 1.5 metres to the left of the goal. On reflection I think my mistake was standing 1.5 metres to the left of the goal.

    I had just kicked a ball back to one of them but failed to notice an incoming ball which must have been kicked with some force. I became aware of the incoming ball when it smashed into my groin (with some force)

    The natural reflex action to wrap oneself up into the foetal position took place while a mental assessment of the damage was undertaken. On discovering I could still breath OK and was not infact cross-eyed, with back turned to the residents a quick inventory was taken of the damaged area. I am indebted to the advice of my old soccer coach who told us that during injuries like this ... "Don't rub 'em, just count 'em"

    A self treatment plan of 'a few deep breaths and stretch out slowly' was made and seems to have been effective as I was able to kick a couple more (soccer) balls back before making my excuses to the group and returning to work.

    The prognisis is for a full recovery although there does appear to be some swelling in the area although that may be unrelated

    Why is it that regardless of the circumstances, a guy getting hit in the nuts is always so funny? (Actually I had tears of laughter rolling down my face just watching her reaction as she read the report as of course I only put it in for a bit of Friday afternoon fun.)

    All incidents must be reported! And after all, this one could have been serious!

    If she was any sort of boss at all she should have asked to check on the swelling unrelated or not.

    i had tears of pain reading that from personal experience

    I was playing cricket one day and the batsman was playing the ball straight and i was feilding close in about a metre away and i made the mistake of saying to him "Stop playing straight" the very next ball he hit with all his mite and you guess it it hit me square in the groin i fell over and passed out for about a minute and when i came to oh the pain i wasn't able to walk for a couple of hours and it was sore for days

    guess in hindsight i guess it was my own fault very funny now but painful then

    Laughed my head off (sorry). A few years ago, one of our apprentices at work was giving blood and afterwards, sat having a cuppa and he fainted, dropping the hot tea in his crutch and burning his willy. The apprentice training master filled in a fantastic accident report and it was soon all over the company email system!

    So are you a professional footballer then? If I filled out a work related accident report about a kick around I would be soooo sacked it's not true.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    How's about a bike-related nad-mashing story?

    Crash starting my GSX750 one day and landing on the tank - doh!

    How about a jump over the top of a dune at the beach only to land in sand so soft the bike stopped dead.My balls left a dent in the tank and I peed blood for a couple of days.Still managed to produce 4 kids over ensuring years so no permanent damage.

    No I don't qualify for the Vienna Boys Chior either.
