:o What sound does it make when a face crashes into a stop sign pole? " CHANG!! " I won't tell you how I know that, but tomorrow morning I'll be checking my face for a long bruise. It's nice to go for a walk in the dark. It was suggested that Chang be my new nickname, which I think is pretty cool, so I thought I'd put it on a t-shirt or a hat. The general consensus is that I should definitely write Chang!! on a helmet and wear that.

Ouch! :smack:

So sorry!

But glad you are still here and able to see your screen and keyboard enough to type!

Take good better care of yourself. :)

Thank you! :D Did you laugh, Doug? Nobody dared laugh when it happened, but when I started cracking up, everybody let loose. I wish I'd gotten it on film! I'm not exaggerating about the sound, you know; and when I hit another stop sign pole with my hand, I couldn't recreate that musical sound. I was walking at a good pace! My jaw still aches, but the headache is gone. I just had to share this with all my wonderful friends here. It was so funny! (My love for the Three Stooges is showing!)

Experimenting to find out what kind of sound something makes when hit by a face sounds painful. But it is funny. I hit my head on something at least 3 times a week and it hurts, but sometimes I have to laugh at my own.

So what sounds do you get? [external image: Posted Image]
I particularly hate it when I create a "chunk " or "chip" sound. "Chip" usually means I'm bleeding, but most of the time I chunk my head. This was my first "chang." I still want my helmet to say "chang", though. I like that better than "I chunked my head, again!"

Hiya Chang, :wavey:

I mean, Kathy :whistling: ……

:rofl: Congratulations on your first "chang"! Only a musician would pay so much attention to the sound :lol: . Did you try that sound experiment with your hand on the same stop sign? My guess is you tried it on a different stop sign ;) . The second sign was probably adequately tightened onto the pole. "Sounds" to me like the first one may have been a little loose. Hope this helps with your experiment. :rofl:

You're getting to know me well, Neo! I tried it on the next stop sign. I think I knocked the first one loose![external image: Posted Image]

The filters on the forum will not allow the sounds I make hear go through. It comes up as bleep
