About eight years ago my mother got me key chain pepper spray as a “stocking stuffer” for Christmas, which is another story in itself. Friends placed a bet on how long it would take for me to pepper spray myself since I’m so accident prone. Six months. While starting my car one afternoon I managed to set it off. Luckily, it only hit my mouth and nose and missed my eyes completely. Just as it went off, a woman happened to be passing by my open car window. “How much perfume are you wearing, lady?” quickly turned into, “Oh my god, I think I just pepper sprayed myself!”. I won the bet by the way… yes, I bet on myself. “If you can’t laugh at yourself, you have no business laughing at others.” Another gift, this time of wisdom, from my mom.
