The Mechanical Bull

Someone talked me into to riding the mechanical bull at the Fort Worth Stockyards. It sounded like a good idea at the time. I quickly fell off the beast and the following exchange occured with the operator of the bull.

Operator: Oh, get back on it.

Me: OK.

Operator: This time turn you hand over.

Me: OK.

He fires it up and I ride it for around 10 seconds. I'm feeling good about my abilities...

Operator: Son, whenever a bull operator tells you to get back on the bull you never do...

As he finished his very funny sentence he cranked up the bull to what had to be full blast and I went flying. I landed on a not so padded area and it really freakin' hurt.

I hope you feel better about your life, Mr. Mechanical Bull Operator. Jerk.
