Certifiably Insane
I packed two left running shoes in my gym bag. Had to go home, get a right one and go back to the gym. Glad I didn't do this for a race. This was the result of good intentions...transitioning from one pair to another, kept the old pair in hopes of recycling and then mixed them up.

Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
Jazz hands!
Then there was the time when I passed a candy / gu station in a race and took a little sleeve of sweet-tarts from the volunteer. The little tube of 'smarties' or whatever they're called, wrapped in celophane. With my sweaty hands, I couldn't get the celophane open -- so I figured I'd just chew on it whole and then spit out the celophane. Yeah. Not so smart. Ended up with pieces of wrapper down the windpipe and I'm on the side of the course gagging. Dumbass.
I ended up attending the wedding in a beautiful, cream-colored dress paired with my favorite PURPLE running shoes. Arla

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
