I'm just now realizing it, but I think some old woman is not dead because of me. Which is odd because of all the old people I've beaten over the years, clockwork orange style.
Anyway, I ran into walmart on my lunch break to grab candy for the little assholes who were going to be begging for it later on that night. When I was standing there looking at the cheapest candy I could find, the Halloween display that was on the top shelf began to fall. Now anyone who knows me well knows that I have outrageous reflexes for stuff like this and instinctually I moved in, reached up and caught it. It was heavy, and my arms naturally bent to accommodate the weight. As I struggle to balance the thing above my head I look over and the weighted end is hovering ominously right above an old lady's head. She gives me a blank look that clearly says "What is going on?" and goes right on back to looking at candy.
Eventually a staff member came over and helped me push it back onto the shelf. Apparently, some idiot had unplugged it and it was a load baring plug. I suppose because the old woman was so senile and oblivious (she actually eventually noticed, but thought I was trying to get it down to buy it), and that I had forgotten to put on my tights and cape, I just didn't think about it. I'm sure the display is back in a precarious position so walmart can stock one more box of product on the shelves.
