When you pop your own jaw when doing Headlock. 😛 (been there, done that) Practice for Sports Ladder for a year and then mess up on one of your first five tricks on the list during the contest. (Never done that; but it’s possible) Buy a yoyo that you expected to be bigger an then end up with a pocket yoyo in your collection. (did that with my Token; I thought it was a full-sized yoyo) 😛 ---
