Usually when I get up in the morning I check out the news..have a cup of tea.. the normal routine. Then before I head out the door I pop on line real quick to check my e-mail. But this morning, there was a news story that caught my attention..

UTRECHT, Netherlands - Utrecht police say a 21-year-old Dutch man is recovering after a "mooning" that went horribly wrong.

A police statement says the man and two others had run down a street in Utrecht with their pants pulled down in the back "for a joke."
It says that at one point the 21-year-old "pushed his behind against the window of a restaurant" that broke and resulted in "deep wounds to his derriere."

The statement released Tuesday says police detained the three men after the incident Sunday morning. But the cafe owner decided not to press charges after the men agreed to pay for the broken window.

The injured man was treated for his injuries at a nearby hospital

I about choked on my Cheerios from laughing. I'm sorry for the man's injuries and I'm sure he's in a little bit of discomfort but sometimes you just need to think through a plan before you actually implement it.

I've played a few practical jokes in my time that backfired and bit me in the ass... but nothing to this extent.
