I oughta join the circus

Ever notice what astonishing feats can be accomplished completely by accident? There ought to be a Circus of the Unintentional. It would be so entertaining. Problem is no one could predict or schedule the performances. An example?

If you offered $100,000,000 to an NFL field goal kicker if he could hit the upright, he'd kick the football a thousand times and not be able to do it. But how many times have you seen a guy do it unintentionally? It happens all the time!

DOINK!

Such is my experience when I'm making figures. Especially stringing the mechanics. "Okay, Kenny... here's your challenge for $100,000,000...

...as you're attempting to simply slide the cord down the inside of the neck, lasso the scissor handles, catch it around both ears, wind the string around the interior circumference three times, and knock over the bottle of glue with your elbow. And for a BONUS payment of $1,000,000, get it tangled in the teeny-tiny eyeball springs.

Betcha can't do it! "

Hah! I've done it a thousand times!
