Nov. 7th, 2002 12:48 pmIt's very windy out.
How do I know this? I know this, for as I stepped into the convenience store the wind shoved the door shut, causing it to bang against me just at the crucial instant where I had one foot raised and the other a little off balance.
Which in turn caused me to stumble forward towards the swinging door that keeps the cashier safe from the customers, flailing and trying to stop myself. Unfortunately, the only thing my flailing hands got ahold of was candy.
Q: Will a Snickers bar stop a (mumblemumble)-pound man falling at the rate of 12 feet per second?
A: No.
It's very windy out.
