Door Busters!

You kno those push doors with the big fat bar that runs across the middle? I totally pushed on it wrong, the door didnt unlatch, and I kept going, face first into a closed door. Pretty smooth.

    This happened to me today! At school, trying to exit the library... You just gotta play it smooth. Just keep walking.

    Just like The School For the Gifted a la Far Side. Classic.

    I learned as a bike messenger to push the middle of these doors to avoid embarrassment. If you have both hands free, you can push on both sides at the same time and be surprised by which one moves.
