Well, the "brain surgeon" was in the right place.

Damn! Someone has stolen another one of my retirement schemes!

She should've used a wall at Mc Donald's.

The dumbasses should have had her sign a waiver before she jumped into the wall.

You must be this tall to ride the teeter totter.

No, this should be "uninteresting"

Dr Moron		2002-07-25 09:59:36 AM

Too bad the wall wasn't made out of brick.

TheAnusThatAteManhattan		2002-07-25 10:02:11 AM

Wow. You know, even though it's covered with velcro - IT'S STILL A WALL. Those tend to be kinda hard, ya know?

If you've ever seen one of these setups, the point is to hit the wall as high and as slow as possible. That's why they usually have a mini-tramp or trampoline. You DO NOT just run full bore into one.

Sad thing is she'd be rich if she would have done this in the US. Hey....... I wonder if I could get my grand ma to try this.

What the fark is wrong with people?

Where's Darwin when you need him?

....Gwilliam, from Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire...

Where do they get these names?

"... tried to get herself to stick to the wall."

Brilliant!!! Farking love that statement!!!

Diogenes		2002-07-25 10:21:57 AM

Woody123: I know - the thing is written as if this sort of thing is just your everyday normal routine. "Well, I was trying to shave my head with a cheese grater - you know, like usual..."

woody123		2002-07-25 10:30:33 AM

Diogenes: Well, it almost is for her... Wasn't thos her 2nd time? lol

DZNUTS		2002-07-25 10:31:36 AM

i could have swore the article said "68 year old woman"....yet the headline posted on fark says "70 year old woman" is there really a need to slap two years on the old hag. she is having enough trouble as it is.

Mysticcat: have you taken a look at American place names recently?

gman69		2002-07-25 10:46:25 AM

Houghton
Intercourse, Pennsylvania.
Climax, PA
(There are actually two Climaxes in PA. And two towns named Blue Ball, what exactly is up with that state?)

Jacque_Strapp		2002-07-25 11:09:06 AM

The funniest part is that to get from Blue Ball to Climax, you have to go by way of Intercourse. Then it's on to Cuddling, PA (out near Ohio). Be sure to start your trip with breakfast in lovely Foreplay, NJ!!

fordy2		2002-07-25 11:23:08 AM

thing is its an inflatable 'wall' kinda like a bouncy castle - old women with balsa wood for bones shoudnlt do this kind of siat though.

fordy2		2002-07-25 11:26:33 AM

btw - you wear a suit made out of the 'hooked' side of velcro and jump off a trampoline into 'soft' side of velcro and hey presto a crap five minutes stuck to a bouncy wall./
stupid old biddy should stick to complaining and drinking tea.
