Oh The Wonder of Me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I do often like to pride myself on my intelligence... I am quite brilliant when it comes to sharp objects or difficult to open containers.
Today, was no exception. I was trying to open a dvd box with scissors, and some how slipped and managed to chop on (not off, mind you) one of my fingers... Not a huge deal, and not terribly surprising, knowing me. But the sheer genius moment came about a 1/2 hour later when I decided that I was hungry for an orange.
Now, I don't know why it didn't cross my mind that oranges + open wounds = pain. But.... it didn't. Ouch. At least the orange tasted good. :)
And the injury wasn't nearly as bad when I sliced off 2 small chunks of my fingers at work about 6 years ago - with a meat slicer. Whoops.
But I think one of my favorite braniac moments came around the time that I'd recently moved to Kansas City - this was 4 years ago... and I was very hungry. I didn't have many of your "normal" kitchen utensils. Simple things, like can openers were non-existent. So I was learning to get creative.
One night in particular I was very hungry, but all we had in the house were some cans of beans. I guess I didn't have any money to run to McDonald's, but I'm thinking it was more like I'd been fasting and was so hungry I that I wanted to eat, "now". Beans were my answer.
However, not a great answer... considering I had no can-opener. Enter "Resource-ful" Jenny... I didn't have a can opener... but I did have... a hammer.
Now, I don't know what I was expecting to happen (or not happen as the case may be)... but I thought it seemed like a viable option unto getting fed. Unfortunately, when most of my "dinner" ended up on the ceiling, all around the kitchen, and allover my shirt - I realized my folly. A bit too late though... as usually seems to be the case. (Note earlier orange story.)
Yes folks, it's official - I'm a genius.
