Me and ladders don't get along.

A few years ago I was painting the house and was near the top of the house peak (1 story ranch) when the ladder went sideways and I fell on a 6ft wooden fence. I wound up with 30 staples in my bicep. The following summer in Roatan I was on a shark dive. The guy on the boat dropped boat ladder on my head by accident...22 stitches in the head! In May while diving in Bonaire guess what I found under water? A ladder!!! I just went right up to it and took it's picture...my wife was watching from the background...

There once was a George with a ladder,
Who slipped and was sadder than madder.
Another rung his head not his feet,
And on he fell to his seat,
So he went under the sea to flee,
But what could be badder?
He found yet another ladder.
