Mr. Vagrent,
I got my ass whipped by my 10 year old daughter Saturday. In a game of tickle the daughter, Karen managed to head butt her ol' dad and give him one hellava shiner :oops:
Please give me your suggestion of a plausible explanation to use at work so I do not have to tell everybody what really happened...
Jumped by a gang of bikers,Jealous husband???
You should see the other guy...

The closest to the truth [that is believable] would be that you were teaching her some Karate [Kung Fu, Akaido, Street fighting] so she could defend herself, if she has to, and you took the shot on purpose to see how well she was learning. Other logical excuses include something fell off a shelf, the lawn mower/snowblower kicked up a rock, you broke a bolt on the car and the wrench hit you, the only thing the mugger got was away, and just barely, the chain saw hit something and kicked back [lucky you only got a bruise].

The best excuse for shiners is. I was on the pot squeezing off a load, I was slightly backed up and pushing with all my might. During the pushing I somehow forgot my breathing. Seems I was actually holding my breath. This caused me to pass out. On the way down off the crapper I hit my face on the door knob causing a shiner. Was happy to be alive, thought I was going out like Elvis. Who's gonna question that. Also prevents others from asking questions in the future.

I gotta go with SD here. The more graphic and potentially revolting the initial explanation, the less likely people are to ask for details. And you know how some people are; they just have to make a big thing about it every time a grown man gets his ass kicked by a ten-year-old girl. :roll:
The only thing you might consider is offering some "color commentary" regarding the texture and/or aroma of the offending load.

Yes BUT a Father willing to take a direct hit from his daughter [for her benifit] will make you sound like a hero, and leave others wondering if they could do the same. {It will also make her friends very unlikely to "pick on her" now they know what she can do.}!

Street fighting [and enough brain cells to know when to run] have kept me alive long enough to become a "senior citizen".

Greetings, Mr. Missaman-

Merely offer to sell the information for a modest price, and no-one will ask any further.

Or, you could say that you've been practicing the ol'- "Knock yourself out", thingie, and that shiner's from the successful self-shot.

AS ever,

Your ol' pal,

Wally J. Corpse

missaman,

Just admit that she got in a lucky first punch and that if the phone hadn't just rung, in another 5 mins. you probably would have whooped her. :wink:

Greetings, Mr. Missaman-

Obviously you suffered additional brain damage from the melee, AS evidenced by your calling me 'William'. It's 'Wally', AS ever.
