Step... or mis-step?

UPDATE: I successfully repaired the drug dealer scale and am proud to announce that it is fully operational and can weigh things in grams, ounces, dwt (penny weight aka 1/240 of a troy (aka 1/240th of Helen of Troy's weight which was approx. 120 lbs)) and ozt (which stands for oldies-teeth, aka weight in old people's teeth (for example, a typical gallon of milk weighs aprox. 1673 ozt)). These are all the typical measurements that drug dealers use, I know this because I googled it. Try it out, you'll see.

Boom! For a reference, that is a dime on the scale, it probably fits about 9 of them side by side. Now you may finally realize why I said it's a drug dealer scale... it literally is... dime bags... think about it.

Also today I witnessed something hilar but also quite upsetting at the same time. Upon disembarking from my train in the morn, I was walking to my usual #7 bus to get to work when I casual look to my right. At that exact instant in time I witness a woman wearing some ridiculously big high heels (12 inches minimum for sure) literally crumble to the ground. It was like watching a small child get pegged in the face with a dodgeball. She stepped in some kind of crack in the pavement and sort of tucked and rolled into the fall. Except instead of tucking and rolling forward so she actually did roll, she just sort of tucked and fell over without rolling. Just... tuck and BAM floor. The worst (or best) part about it was that she landed in a puddle as she hit the ground. Quite literally a tidal wave of water sprayed a bunch of other people which was also funny. Of course I was mid stride and already past her as I was watching it happen so I was safe from the tsunami of water and I also was past the realm of being required to help her up. I had instantly thought oh maybe I should go help her out except I saw a ton of other people walk over to her and I was definitely more than 3 steps away (which is the max distance you can be before being required to help someone from an accident (unless of course it's a small child about to be hit by some kind of object, an old person unawares and about to be hit by some object, or an incredibly hot (insert gender here) whom it would be a shame to see get hit by an object because the loss of their life would literally cause the world to explode)), so naturally I kept walking.

It was pretty interesting because I've never really seen anyone fall with heels on, guy or girl... (unless they were drunk of course, in which case I've seen both guys and girls do it) so I'm glad I got to witness it. Although I do feel a little bad. Hope it doesn't happen to me.. Sorry I actually am sorry Karma... but not even a little sorry for blogging.
