Sometimes it's the short ones that get you:

Just a quick morning ride before work. Two miles out and I flat. Fix it and flat again (forgot to check the tire!) Fix it (patch this time) and flat again. At this point I give up and decide to walk home. Not easy in road shoes, not safe without them. Now it starts raining. Where did that come from? I decide to take the most direct route home and cut through the industrial parking lot. This ends at a 6 foot high chain link fence that goes on forever. I can see my house ahead and that spurs me to climb the fence. I take my shoes off and climb up. I reach down for my bike and raise it over the fence. I climb higher and lower my bike safely to the ground. I climb over and reach the ground safely. I go to put my shoes on and... Back over the fence. It's still raining. I throw my shoes over the fence and climb back over. My new shorts get caught and rip, now showing off my wet rear end. I get home, walk into my house, and my wife, without looking says, "that was a quick ride!"
