The adventures of Knee boy

I'm sure everyone has done it once or twice. It's a common problem sweeping across offices, homes, dens, anwhere desks are involved.
I'ts the practice of crashing a knee into a desk. Yeah, it hurts. Sometimes worse than others. This epidemic has no cure. None. It always happens and always will.
Personally, last night's episode was in fact the most painful to date. Because I was balancing on my chair while trying to raise my leg in a very quick and fast motion so I could rub my foot, I tried to put my knee through the edge of my desk.
OH MY GOD! That hurt. I saw stars while actually tearing up for just a second. I caught the side of the kneecap flush against the the desk edge. I couldn't even swear. From that point, a wave of naseua washed over me and I had to lay down for a short while. I can slide and tear open a nine inch long by three inch wide abrasion that looks like I cheese gratered myself and be fine. But that collision was a different kind of pain. Not fun at all.
I instantly had a lemon drop sized knot on my knee. Surprisingly, not a whole lot of blood. The contusion is painful to the touch.
I post this as a warning to people out there. This epidemic is sweeping across the nation and there is no stopping it.
