unintentional headbanging
many years ago, a pub not far from my home would have spin-the-wheel contests on a saturday night. the main prize was a bottle of wine, but the wheel could also land on such things as broomstick aerobics, worm dancing and suchlike. if you span and got one of these, you had to perform the task and won a voucher for one free drink.
one saturday night, utterly hammered, i decided to give it a try. i staggered my way onto the stage and faced the wheel.
now, i'd seen other girls doing this, but they all seemed to simper and giggle, before giving the wheel a puny little spin.
i wasn't going to do that, oh no.
i grabbed the wheel with both hands and gave it a mighty yank. unfortunately, this involved me bending down as i yanked, which meant that i was struck rather forcefully on the head by one of those spoke things that you pull the wheel with.
it hurt like a bastard. seeing stars, i staggered about a bit more, clutching my head. once the colour had returned to his face, the d.j(who ran the spin-the-wheel) hurriedly gave me the bottle of wine, despite the wheel landing on broomstick aerobics. definitely a win there and fuck it, i was going to have a sore head the next morning anyway!
