I used to make up props for Halloween and and Christmas, so thought i would add some black humour.
For many many years i have had bamboo spine where all the discs fuse together, so had to be careful not to fall over.
I'm a happy soul, so don't worry about my story.
On Halloween 2017, i bought a plastic pumpkin and skeleton to place outside our house so the local kids would call, trick or treating. In between then and Christmas, i found a discarded broken Little Tikes plastic summer house that i painted like a Christmas Grotto, and thought i would put a large Christmas display outside my house for Christmas!
I thought i might try something different, maybe the Grinch etc. Eventually i took the plastic pumpkin, made a hole underneath, took the head off the skeleton, and put the two together, i painted the new head white and black and ended up with Jack the Pumpkin King, i then made a sign with "Nightmare before Christmas", then it was ready to put out in the front garden, sitting on a plastic stool!
On the 8th January 2018, i was taking the decorations down, i took the plastic stool that Jack was sitting on, inside to wash, but without thinking sat on it, it split the stool, and i ended on the floor with spinal fluid oozing out, snapping my spine and ending up with paraplegia.
Moral of the real story is "Do not mess with Jack the Pumpkin King", he will get you Ha Ha!
