Maybe this should go in OT-not bike related? Or maybe even in OT, since there actually is a trike involved. But here goes as humor:
My home soccer team's Canadian goalie had to call in sick and miss his national team's next game. He had a freak accident -- sliced off the tip of his thumb with a cheese slicer while preparing breakfast. In the spirit of "sharing troubles makes them smaller", the local paper tried to lessen his embarrassment by listing a number of unusual injuries that have occured to soccer players. Here's their list:
Steffen Iversen: Injured himself while bowling last May.
Darren Bent: Cut himself while making a sandwich.
David Seaman: Broke a leg when reaching for the remote control.
Santiago Canizares: Missed playing in the 2002 World Championships after dropping a bottle of after-shave on his toe.
Rio Ferdinand: Pulled a sinew in his knee while playing playstation with his feet on the table.
Terje Leonhardsen: Was declared "injured by Playstation" during a training season in Spain.
Goalie Dave Beasant: Dropped a jar of salad dressing on his foot in 1993.
Kasey Keller: Knocked out his own front teeth pulling his golf clubs out of the luggage compartment of his car.
Robbie Keane: Injured his knee, also pulling golf clubs out of the car.
Darren Barnard: Injured his knee when he slipped in a "puddle" left on the floor by his new puppy.
Alan Wright: Injured his knee stretching to reach the accelerator of his Ferrari.
Kevin Kyle: Scalded his testicles when his baby tipped a pot of boiling water onto K.K. who was trying to feed the baby. History does not report whether the baby was injured or not (let's hope not!).
David James: Injured his thumb due to too much video gaming.
David Batty: Injured his achilles when his child ran him over with a tricycle.
