I was playing a game of squash against the boss last night (the entire office goes). He sent me running from the left side of the court to the right side to return the ball. The ball could not have been more than 300mm (1') from the right hand wall and I had to hit the ball at pace.
I got the return in, before careening into the wall. Luckily I have a bit of padding, by being a slightly overweight bastard, because I hit the wall with a sickening crash, and bounced more than a meter off the wall, landing in a human puddle, my glasses dislodged, my racket out of hand.
The boss got to my return, and just to tease me he hit it so that it landed near me lying on the ground. I was able to grab my raquet in the wrong hand hit the ball and hit a good winner.
However I couldn't sleep last night, because every time I moved it was like.....
"Ouch, that's a bruise"
Ah well.
