No narration. Just speech.

Anthing You Can Do...

"Man, I was cutting my hair just now, and halfway through, the handle on my scissors snapped off. Halfway through giving myself a haircut. Sucks."

"Oh, your handle broke? I was cutting something once and stabbed myself in the palm. In the palm!"

"Yeah, broken handle? I once did the same as you but instead of stabbing my palm I sliced my finger."

"Uh... wow, you two are really going to try to one-up something sucking?"

"I once had my hand slip while cutting cheese, and sliced the tip of my finger wide open. Bled all over the place. Still ate the cheese though."

"I once spun back to my desk barefoot too close to the corner, and gouged a piece out of the side of my second toe."

"Uh... guys?"

"See how this finger is shorter than it's supposed to be? I was trying to unclog my blender, but I forgot to unplug it first, and it started while my hand was still in it. Took a quarter inch right off."

"I slipped in the bathtub and landed on my shoulder. Now it sits about an inch lower than the other one."

"...Guys?"

"I once tried to jump over a couch by the side of the road, but the cushion compressed more than I thought it would and I fell forward onto the ground and shattered my kneecap."

"I once let go of a sliding window when it wasn't locked in place, and it came crashing down across my hand and crushed all my fingers."

"..."

"I once put too much pressure on my chest in the gym and cracked a rib. I wasn't able to lift anything heavier than a plate of food for two months."

"I once pulled a muscle in my side shoveling snow, and I wasn't able to turn to the left for a month and a half."

"Okay, you two can stop now. You know, I came here for some poor me time, and instead I got the two of you comparing notes to see who's horrendously injured themselves more creatively. I'll be honest, the thing I'm really taking away from this is that I'm not the dumbest person in the room. So, thanks for that! Oh, and try not to hurt yourselves on the way home tonight after I leave; I hear it might be raining. Bye guys."

"...I can't raise my left arm above shoulder level."

“I was technically dead for four minutes after choking on a piece of chicken skin.”

"Do you ever get the feeling your life has just been a long series of terrible mistakes?"

"I never used to, but after laying it all out like this... we were some dumb kids."

"I can't believe I reached into a live blender without unplugging it."

"That was pretty dumb."

"It really was."

"At least it wasn't a food disposal unit."

"I guess. I miss being able to type without pain though."

"Yeah, life was good when we were young."

"Innocent."

"Naive."

"Uninjured."

"...That guy's hair looked ridiculous."

"Yeah. I'd hate to be him, having to walk around like that all day."

"What a moron."

"Who cuts their own hair? Honestly."

"A complete tool, that's who."

"I'm glad I'm not him."

"Me too. Let's go get lunch."

"Who was that guy anyway?"

"I have no idea."

"Just some random guy who walked in to bitch about his hair, I guess. What an idiot."
