The Day-to-day Saying: That's the way the ball bounces
The Brutal Truth: When a ball is bouncing at you, there is about a 50-50 chance that it will bouce harmlessly off of your foot. The other 50-50 chance, however, is that it will hit your foot (causing a bruise), and smack your nose so hard the bones are shoved into your brain, killing you. The moral? You have just as much a chance of dying sliding in the kiddie area at McDonalds as you juggling flaming torches with chainsaws attached to the non-fire end.
