sometime when i was still in elementary school, some friends and i were on the swings, having a contest to see who could jump the farthest. there i was, swinging with all my might to get the most momentum possible. once at that magical point and height, i got ready: this was going to be the big one. this is, of course, all happening in ultra slow motion, and just about halfway through my glorious arc off the swing, i get yanked back to the ground. i'm stunned. once the shock wore off, it turns out my pinky finger was stuck in the chain the whole time.
