One Amazing Thing I've Done
i threw a coin into the ass pocket of my friends jeans(he was bent over and the pocket was just a tiny tight slit) from about 15 metres. i chipped a golf ball off the ground with a putter, the ball went into the leg of my 3/4 length pants, spun around my leg and rolled into the hole on the green. i kicked a football into a basketball hoop from the full distance of the court(twice). i flicked a tennis ball off the ground with my feet and sent it flying across the room straight into a cup. two crows flew down my chimney before and scared the shit out of me. these events really did happen!!! actually....amazing things happen all the time, you just have to have your eyes open.
