I really shouldn't laugh but I just can't help it .....

Actually, I know exactly how she feels because many, many years ago something similar happened to me. I was in a mad rush on my way into London one morning and got off the train at Charing Cross only to find a huge crowd struggling to leave the station. A large area of the concourse had been cordoned off with tape due to a large puddle caused by a combination of a leaking roof and heavy rain. Being the impetuous young man that I was, I decided that queueing was for softies and old people so I simply hopped over the tape to take my chances with a puddle I reckoned couldn't have been more that an inch deep. Whoosh... my feet immediately went from under me and I was left floundering in a pool of very dirty water right in front of a massive audience. I suspect one or two of them were thinking something along the lines of "there is a god!" but I can't be sure.....

Just found this already mentioned in another thread in the entertainment forum so perhaps a friendly passing mod could move this one.
