falling in montreal

So things make me laugh. Lots of things actually. One of those is people falling.

This past fall (pun not intended, but still funny), I was in Montreal for the Grey Cup festivities and game. At the game, I had a primetime seat right by the stairs for the seats below me. For some reason unknown to me, every third person was missing the last step. It wasn't hidden, it wasn't half the size of the other steps, it was clearly marked... there was nothing special or different about this step - but so many people missed it. People carrying beer missed the step and then they were wearing their beer. People carrying popcorn missed it and then lost their $9 box of popcorn! Seniors, children, the drunk and the sober all missed this step!!

I had a good few hours of enjoyment from watching the people at the game... and parts of the game too.

Alas, it was karma that had my number at the end of the day. We were headed back from the Big O on the subway, as we made our way back downtown the trip (again, no pun intended, but it's still funny), nothing eventful really happend. UNTIL - I decided to take the stairs up instead of the escalader... I fell flat on my face!! As I lay with my face so close to the disgusting germ infected filthy subway stairs I had to laugh because karma, my friends, is a bitch.
