Recently while playing tennis with my brother, I took a
tumble. My ass is still black and blue, but thankfully I didn't hit
my head.
Then today, while riding my bike, I noticed most everyone was
wearing a helmet. Hmmm, (I just can't bring myself to do it. I
would not be able to hear the birds,
etc.) But that made me
think...
Why not tennis helmets. Made from a fairly sturdy material
with a velcro covering. That way you can keep your balls up
there too. Win-Win.
If you fall, your head will gently bounce off the court, and no
big deal. Well a little bit of pride might be lost, but nothing
more.

Most people use tennis balls. Do you throw him up into the air to serve ? |
|
| |
You must be VERY strong... |

<reconsiders previous teasing of [Bliss] re cats/spiders, resolves to proceeed with greater caution in future> |
|

I like the tennis ball holder idea. Don't head butt the ball boys... |
|
| |
I'm not sure about this. The problem appears to be
stated as: //I took a tumble//, whereas the problem
is surely: //while playing tennis//. |
|
| |
Hmm, Zebra Tennis. Hmmm...Maybe, just maybe they would
chase the balls, doubtful, but if trained right... |

I wish you a nice warm bath to soothe your bruising, but I can't offer you a croissant to eat in it without some way to imagine how, during tennis, you could land on your head. |

I mean, the cyclist has their feet off the ground to start with, they're travelling faster than they could run, and they're liable to be struck above their centre of gravity by something heavy (even without the active involvement of [8th] who, I'm sure, would love to demonstrate this last point). The tennis player, on the other hand, not so much. At least, not while actually playing tennis. |
|
| |
Maybe the kind of knee and elbow pads that skateboarders sometimes have would be of more help. |
|
| |
Hey, the only thing that saved me from not hitting my head
was the fact that I leaped up before it could hit. It was one
nano second away from slamming on the court and bursting
open. I swear. Just one nano second. Now give me the damn
bun or else I'll shove a tennis ball up your...nose. |
|
| |
// slamming on the court and bursting open. // |
|
| |
Oooh, we would pay a dollar to watch that … |
|
| |
<recalls previous resolution not to tease [bliss]> |
|
| |
8th, I hate to tell you, but my fee for watching me "burst" my
head open, is waaaayyyy more than a buck. Waaaay more. |
|
| |
And as for teasing me, or not teasing me, well just bear in
mind, karma's a bitch dear friend. A real bitch. Ha. |
|

{turns off the taps and retreats} |

I was going to ask where on your head your ears are
mounted, but previous annotations made me reconsider.
Anyway, I hope you're feeling better by now. |
|
| |
Mucho, Monsieur, gracias. |

The problem is that you don't wear a helmet when riding a
bicycle- where you are many times more likely to be hit by a
car than on (most) tennis courts. |

Not sure if a tennis helmet is going to do much for your ass.
Perhaps some sort of inflatable gym shorts with a shock
sensor; you could bounce back to your feet and continue the
game. Am I missing something? |
|

Well, possibly a promising career in erotic garment design... |
