Inexplicably, a memory of a Jr. High friend wanting to make a hand-phaser from a ketchup packet by a single pinprick to the pouch. He squeezed the packet and it worked, and a thin red line appeared -- on his forehead.
I had then laughed, but with such ill-luck of my own on numerous occasions, my empathy kicked-in and I tried to lessen the blow, but, the gutting damage done; he was so miffed, so embarrassed.
Weird how that came back to me with no related event or image.
I wonder how he's doing...
