Scarlet you make me smile

Let me first start by saying that I am always cringing at the view of over achievers at the gym: the stair climbers (is that even what it is called?) who decide that going up the stairs backwards is really the smart way to go about their cardio work out, those who go extra fast on the tredmil, don't get me started on the agilities enthusists. Every so often I catch a glimpse of a gym member doing off the wall exercises which I would never dare do... I try not to tempt fate. I am beyond clumsy and there is no need to make my life more dangerous than it already is. So I digress... Omar and I are in the abs area along with another two girls. One which happens to be a little over weight. OK OK OK I am not trying to make fun of over weight people, but I just want to make a point that there are just some things that are not wise-- again don't tempt fate. Well this girl is on one of the yoga balls. I use them to assist me with sit ups since my knees are shot. But she was using it to balance herself on it. It is a bit difficult to explain, but she was on her stomach trying to balance herself with her arms and legs stretched out in front and behind her. Picture it? Now do you understand what I mean by temping fate???? Ok so she is some what balanced and than it happens, she begins to loose her balance. So instead of falling on to her face she manages to put her hands in front and not break her nose. Sounds like she missed a disaster right? WRONG! So as she is trying to get up, she uses her hands to walk back and I guess had ever intention of landing her feet on the ground. Now, as she is "walking with her hands" there is another yoga ball directly behind her. Which of course does not allow her feet to get to the floor she so desperately needed. I am watching this all unravel so quickly and slow all at the same time that I just have no idea how this is going to end... well I know it is not going to pleasant, but not exactly sure how. So instead of stopping the hand motions, she continues going backwards with hopes of kicking the ball behind her out from under her feet. I really have no idea how she thought this would end other than catastrophic. Picture it: heavy set girl laying on a yoga ball, legs are kicking in the air trying to kick another ball from behind her while her arms are only pushing her closer and closer to her demise. Than it happens, she loses total balance and just falls to the side ... SPLAT! Landing on the floor as both yoga balls fly across the room! I can only imagine what my face must have looked like. I am proud to say I did not laugh... but when her friend looked over at Omar all he could do was shrug with an "I don't know what the heck just happened" kind of face. I decided just to look away instantly, I have self control but it only goes so far.

When it was all said and done we start walking out of the gym, and Omar turns to me and says "I wonder if her name is Scarlet?" I almost peed myself. This clip just NEVER gets old! It is not the full version... but oh wow H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S
