Man And Coffee Table Have Unfortunate Collision

Townsend, DE – A boulder? A large piece of wood with nails sticking out of it? A sharp piece of metal with a hornet’s nest attached? A set of punji sticks with poison tips?

A Delaware man thought one of those had come into contact with his knee and knocked him onto his back with no apparent warning while walking through the den last night.

But it was none of the above. A coffee table which had not been moved recently seemed to almost jump out and whack the man in his knee when he tried to walk past it last night. The man fell backwards in agonizing pain, swearing profusely and grasping his bruised knee. While writhing in pain the man looked over at the table to see if it had swung a bat into his knee, but there was no evidence of any bats, hornets nests or punji sticks.

The coffee table was not harmed, although the man reports a mind-numbing soreness today. A soreness which seems to continue to increase as this boring day plods on and on…

Jeez this really hurts.

Seriously. I can barely take much more of it. Er, uh… the man was quoted as saying later.
