On the First Day of Christmas, I Nearly Broke My Neck...

True story.
Over the long Thanksgiving weekend I was tasked with bringing the Christmas
decorations up from the basement and trekking the Halloween/Thanksgiving
decorations back down again. During one trek down the stairs, heavily
laden with boxes, I slipped and luckily only fell about two steps before
landing square on my behind. My wife yelled, "What was that thump?"
"I just fell down the $%^&*( stairs," I explained.
"Anything broken?"
"No, I'm fine."
There was just a slight pause before I heard, "Oh, that's good. What about
my decorations? Are any of them broken?"
