Childish

So... I may or may not have misjudged the distance between my handle bars and a certain mail box... and promptly fallen off my bicycle.

Plausible effects of such an accident include: about as much skin as would cover the surface of a quarter or two being scraped off one elbow and the palm of the hand, a lovely bruise the size of an apple on the thigh, and a bump on the back of one's head.

Plausible repercussions of such injuries include: searing pain in palm and elbow when entering chlorinated water and an inability to bend or unbend or lean on one's elbow without flinching.

Other possible side effects of falling off one's bicycle include: discovering one's favorite swearword, being asked by kind passers-by if one is ok, and feeling soundly humiliated.
