In the early 80's, I went skiing in Germany while I was stationed there. Halfway down, I wiped out. After I collected up skis and poles (and wits), I realized my sunglasses were gone. Shrugged, finished that run, went back up and wiped out again in the same spot. This time, when I dug the snow from my eyes, the first thing I saw was my sunglasses half-buried in the snow from my previous wipeout. I still chuckle when I think about it.
