Things I’ve Learnt: #145

Every now and again, you realize you make a complete cock-up, and confirm everyone’s beliefs that you are, indeed, an idiot! Apparently I felt it was time tonight, at Megan’s birthday celebration (at the Pancake Parlor).

Someone, who is nameless to me as I did not see it happen, accidentally flicked a $2 coin in to my meal (or, Flicks meal, but I was eating the leftovers). I decided to do the good thing, suck off the maple syrup, dry it off, and put it back.

However, much to everyone’s (and my own) amusement, I accidentally tossed it straight down my gullet.

I was like a human seagull, not even bothering to swallow, as I realized my mistake. The table erupted, of course, and I found myself having swallowed a $2 coin.

So here I sit, trying to get my work done, with my digestive track working overtime. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to the end result! Thank my good Lord that it is only a $2 coin and, not as Mike suggested, a 50c piece.

Side note, I’ve been asked to preach next year at Mitcham… w00t!
