LOOOOOOOOL. I remember both that, and the joke in Wayne’s World about it.

She’s right though - he…doesn’t quite have “the knack” for it it seems.

You know what they say about people who keep doing the same thing, and expect different results.

Seriously, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no point in being a damn fool about it. And Mom is right, he does seem to be hurting himself in the same way EVERY time.
