Patton staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Kathleen.
He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
Managing not to yell, Patton sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.
He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed..
In the morning, Patton woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Kathleen staring at him from across the room.
She said, "You were drunk again last night, weren't you?"
Patton said, "Why you say such a mean thing?"
"Well," Kathleen said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly ....... it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror."
Und nun sind alle, die dies lesen, herzlich eingeladen mitzuplaudern und mitzuzählen. Wir zählen seit dem 23. August 2004 für den Weltfrieden und freuen uns über jeden Mitzähler, um unserem gemeinsamen Ziel, der Million, gemeinsam näherzukommen.
Unsere einfachen Regeln:
1. Wir zählen abwechselnd aufwärts, d.h. keiner darf 2 gültige Zahlen hintereinander abgeben, immer der Million entgegen.
2. Zählfehler werden von allen mit Humor beseitigt, verjähren aber nach Monatsfrist.
3. Die Zahlen freuen sich über ein bisschen Text (das ist auf Wunsch des LEO-Teams) in individuell gestalteter Rechtschreibung (das war unser eigener Wunsch)

Und nun, viel Spaß beim Weiterzählen und -erzählen.
