I actually thought it was quite funny, even as it was happening.

Had a really good one today. (Well, three things actually). Helping fellow member with their truck. (M923A2). Go to check fluids before trying to start for the first time in several months. Check fluids. Realize the past several times I've been doing this WRONG. Truck had historically...

You just reminded me of a pretty good lapse of common sense I had once. I'm sure I've related this story elsewhere on SS even but it's too good to not bring up again. Long story short, it involves my first time driving manual. First time driving manual was trying to roll start an M49A2 with...

Buffalobwana, someone I know has a similarly bad story of falling (I think it was a misstep from a stepladder to the bed) from the tailgate of his M923A1, I think broke a collar bone or tore a rotator cup. That said it didn't discourage him one bit.
