Because I am occasionally guilty of showing off, sometimes when I am
unloading the bars, Ill get the pry lever part way down, move my body
out of the way and let the spring of the bars throw the pry across the
camp, accompanied by a loud noise that sounds like a rifle shot.

Then Ill say in a startled voice, Wow, Im glad that one didnt get
me.
Then I go limping off, knowing that strangers are assuming that one did
get me.

Better than the truth.

Your assistant coach story was interesting, but the description of what
you are hauling, boggled my mind. Especially the overhang.
