"One of the first things that came to my mind was, 'Good thing we brought a second javelin,'" Miles' coach, Richard Vance, said Monday.
The empathy is strong in this one.
The guy was lucky.
A couple of feet higher and "Look, Marge, I'm da MAN!"
I can only imagine the paramedic response when that got radioed in: "No way. Shut up." It's really not funny, but you know you'd have a hard time trying not to laugh. Or am I a sociopath?
ewww!!! that's just gross!! good he is okay!!! ouch !!!
I did laugh at the coach's first thought...
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it. The kid who tossed the offending javelin went on to win. Nerves of steel, that one.
