The way of the ninja
They say one of the major tenets of being a ninja is to never let your guard down. One day, I did just that which nicely explains why I am not a ninja.

I was in the second year of university, in halls with my friends. The trouble was, my friends had a rather... unusual sense of humour.

So, to set the scene, there I was, showering away, not a care in the world. I may have been singing "La Bamba" as well, whilst shampooing areas I am sure you wish not to be told about. So, there I am, singing away, covered in suds when I heard a hammering at the door.

Wondering what this could possibly mean, I stop my singing thinking it may have offended one of the people in the halls. The hammering continued... in fact, it sounded like they wanted to get in.

At the time, I didn't know why. Eventually, the door was kicked open, by which time I was in my towel more than a little annoyed with this state of affairs. Incidentally I should mention that the people who had kicked the door in were much bigger than me. Bear this in mind, as it is important.

So, I politely ask (well, actually I asked what the fuck they were playing at) what they were up to, and they responded by grabbing a hold of me, ripping my towel off me and shoving me out on the fire escape. Naked, in the middle of the day, in the middle of March. A rather cold day in March, in fact. Never let your guard down, kids.

Suffice to say I didn't have to apologise for length on that day.
