Wouldn't it be funny?

I was a little hung up on what topic I should write about on this next blog, and after acquiring a few opinions from friends of mine I have decided to write a short story of an event that happened not to long ago. For the sake of confidentiality my other friends will be named Alex (girl) and John (guy). Enjoy

*Note: Excuse my bad english.

So John, Alex and I decide to hang out while we waited for the party later on. We walked around the city, grabbed some ice-cream and it was all cool. We went to the food court and sat down and had a chat for a while about random things going on in our lives. "I'm really hungry" I cry out, and the problem with this was that the party was only an hour away. My friends were urging me not to eat but because the fact that I think with my stomach I decided to grab a bite to eat. And both John and Alex shook their heads in disappointment.

Soon after that we decided to walk around and look at the many attractions that the busy Melbourne Central allowed us. We came across a furniture store and decided to take a look inside. We saw many different comfortable elegant pieces of furniture in abstract shapes and sizes. In the background we could observe the beautiful house hold items such as vases, chandeliers and mirrors. We get to the back of the store and find a nice couch with a couple of soft pillows on it. I sit towards one end of the couch while Alex sat at the other and John found himself comfortable on a recliner near by and I notice the pillows. And out of immaturity I pick the pillow up and throw it square at her face. She quickly noticed and her automatic reaction was to throw it back. When the pillow approached me I used my ninja fast reflexes and deflect the pillow and at that moment we heard the sound of a crashing Vase hitting in the direction the pillow was flung. At that moment we paused for about three seconds in shock and I quickly said "Let’s get out of here". So we hurried out as fast as we could but not to fast so that no one would notice what had happened.

As we exited the store we all sighed in relief as we had escaped punishment for destroying a possibly expensive vase. My logic allowed me to comfort Alex who initiated the attack, in that "the store was a multimillion dollar company, and that vase was nothing to the company, just a mere item for display". And that is what keeps my conscious clear till this very day.

Ok so that was a funny event that happened not so long ago, but what I wanted to bring out is how often we would think that "hey that won't happen to us" or "wouldn't it be funny if", but every so often it does happen and luckily we didn’t have to pay the price (the price of the vase that is). I just wanted to say that don't be to confident in thinking that we are invincible, though this case wasn't to serious, we can see the parallels when it comes to different situations in that our lack of thinking can cause serious harm to yourself or others.

"Wouldn't it be funny if I punched in that direction and hit someone in the face? *punch* OH CRAP! Are you ok?"
