How not to walk in the infamous Iraqi crack house
I guess 30 some years of knowing how to walk stairs left me today. My ego won’t allow me to assume full responsibility for my swan dive to the second floor though. Iraqis are horrid at anything dealing with construction so I would like to credit them for my tumble too.
Those knuckleheads “built” steps going up in this tower that literally are more tight and of more varying heights and widths then any castle in Europe I have ever climbed. At one point the ceiling just drops a foot or so out of nowhere so when I went duck I ended up diving.
Here’s to adding every Iraqi masonry workerr to our high target value list.

Your first boo boo! Does it qualify as “wounded in action?” Well, you get an honorary purple heart from us civilians!
