Do I want to see someone get hurt in a horrific car accident? of course not...

Do I laugh out loud when a drunk person falls off a balcony, flattens a card table, rolls off the end and slides down into a swimming pool? Heck yes I do!!!

I have several channels I watch daily for that humor.. (like the small kids above.. that made me chuckle..) Does that make me sadistic? Geez.. I have empathy for a lot of those video clips, but most of them are still pretty darn funny..

and my mandatory pic..

One man's opinion. With a pic.

Sometimes, when it's due to stupidity, it's hard not to laugh.

This isn't bad


But there's another one where a (drunk) guy gets a running start, and dives like superman. He makes it almost all of the way down before he catches himself

...with his face.

Not dead. At the time, I saw pics on a website, his face had many parallel red marks. He was surprisingly intact and in good spirits. There was a fair amount of blood. Because of the blood, I won't post the GIF here.
