Why burglars don't wear skirts So I get home today, pull my computer out of the car and head to the house. Unfortunately the braintrusts that I live with have locked the deadbolt when they know I only have a key to the bottom lock. Placing my computer in front of the door I look around and see a folding chair (I'm on the deck) and pull it towards the porch window. Carefully I precariously balance myself on the folding chair in my heels and push the unlocked window up. Now comes the dilemma - my skirt is too tight for me to lift my leg up and over the sill. I ponder the problem and realize my only alternative is to pull my skirt up and scale the sill. I look around to make sure I am unobserved and hike my skirt around my waist. Quickly, lest someone should be around, I push myself up and lift my leg to swing it in. Unfortunately my high heel catches on the side of the window forcing me to release my lift and drop the lower half of my anatomy smack onto the thin metal strip. Heel still caught I fall inwards because of the pain and end up on the floor of the porch with both feet up on the window sill. Using my exceptional kung fu skills I roll over backwards, stand up and pull my skirt down properly. As I look out the window I see my neighbor has been outside for god knows how long and is staring at my house with a huge smile on his face. Oh the humanity (to be read in the voice of the Hindenburg announcer). It was then that I realized my computer was outside and I had no way of getting it except by going out the same window. So - how was your day?
