At least, that was his explanation for why he had a rake handle up his ass.
It was a million-to-one shot, Doc! 
:
He slipped in the shower!
I told him not to drop the soap! 
Wow! When and where did this happen, and “alleged” by whom?
I’ve been watching a few old film noirs on Prime. They can’t get through a whole movie without someone falling to their death. Seems to be pretty evenly split between windows and cliffs.
It was similar to this incident but it’s hard to find the exact story I’ll have to look longer since I know I bookmarked it somewhere. But yes same general idea guy was in a State where being naked in his front lawn was legal, but the twist is he did this in front of an elementary school.
As for alleged, well he was never charged with anything but he suspiciously only did yard work when the local school children were going or leaving school.
Back when I lived in Rogers Park in Chicago a local bad boy somehow managed to fall on and impale himself on one of the iron fences closing off the courtyards of courtyard apartment buildings. He didn’t survive the experience but yeah, people do manage to get impaled in the real world.
Actress Charisma Carpenter survived being impaled, a happier outcome in that case.
I knew a guy years ago who, at 66 years of age, was on his roof fixing some storm damage. He did this while his wife was away, knowing she’d object.
When he was finished, he took a step backwards that he shouldn’t have taken. He came to on his back on the ground. He wasn’t in pain, which scared him because he thought he must have broken his back. He stayed still and began yelling for help.
Eventually he realized nobody could hear him. He cautiously began moving each limb, then he stood up. He was fine. He was better than fine, he felt great.
Free chiro adjustment!
Happened to Dick Tracy villains all the time
The Brow:
Another Tracy villain got impaled on a church steeple, but I can’t find it now.
To make up for it, here’s a Midnight villain in an early Jack Cole comic impaled on a church steeple
Her character was impaled. I am unaware of something like that happening to her personally.
Her character being impaled was, apparently, inspired by her real-world experience as a child.
Ah. Color me educated. Thank you.
The Mayo rake-guy survived and returned to farming in North Dakota. I don’t think Mayo would have the display of him if they weren’t able to help him. (The display got removed during one of their construction projects many years ago and I can’t find out where it went.)
My buddy is a contractor, and while not fatally impaled , he fell off into an old wood deck and got a nasty nail wound.
My ex brother-in-law was working construction and fell off a two story scaffold. Fortunately, he landed on his back on a big pile of sand that broke his fall. Unfortunately, a cinder block also fell two stories and landed on his stomach. Messed up his insides quite a bit, but nothing permanent.
I don’t know about eggs, but they really do make a doll that cries every couple of hours (and it isn’t a cute cry), and you have to shut it off with a special set of keys, and you don’t know which one shuts it off, so you have to try each one. It’s supposed to mimic the experience of checking the diaper, feeding the baby, rocking the baby, etc., trying to figure out what it needs, which, with a newborn can be a lot of hit-and-miss.
I have seen teens with these more than once in Walmarts and restaurants.
apparently, the doll logs how quickly you respond, so you can’t just throw a pillow over it for the night, and the school gives you a carseat/carrier for it.
The thing about the women in PG movies wearing her bra in bed post-sex is that, from that point on, I can’t stop thinking how weird the sex must have been, and how uptight the woman have been. Every women i’ve ever been to bed with couldn’t wait to take her bra off, and that’s one of the most revealing moments in any sexual relationship, especially the first time a couple has sex, but even on the thousandth reiteration, it’s always a high point.
And the post-sex stuff is even stranger with the naked (bra-less) woman sitting in bed with the sheets up to her clavicle. I mean, I’ve already seen them, so she can’t be hiding them from me, and there’s no one else here so who exactly is she displaying this modesty for? Again, my conclusion (in the movies) is this one severely fucked-up couple to be treating this odd behavior as normal.
Actually, that is somewhat more likely than, say, putting a bra back on. I’ve done that if the room is chilly-- but it wouldn’t be the just the sheet.
I can even remember one specific instance of doing it.
My husband arrived back in the US from Iraq on Dec. 24 in Wisconsin, and had a 3-day pass, so I drove up there, and we stayed in a drafty motel. We first saw each other at about 10am.
A couple of hours later, we were naked and sweaty in a cold room and talking about what to do for lunch. I pulled the sheet and blanket up around myself to my armpits-- I specifically did want to cover my breasts to keep the cold and sweat from causing a slightly painful contraction of my nipples.
I remember just because many details of that day are very clear to me still.
