So, long story short...

While anonymous was On a first date with this girl

anonymous made the mistake of

taking a picture of us lying face up with a big old fashioned camera...

My Advice to You is

read the story...you will learn..

Here's the whole story

k, I was about 21 at the time, and there was this girl I had I was working with, in the same office building, who's attention I had been trying to get for a long time...So finally I get the courage one day and ask her out..I mean she was gorgeous, and more importantly, she liked me too...so we go out, have dinner, drive around a bit and are having a great time and i hint, lets go back to my place and "watch a dvd"...which well, I was hoping wouldn't be "watched". so anyhow, we're on my bed, kind of just talking and she noticed i had one of those big giant old fashioned cameras..the kind that shoots b/w film, which are pretty heavy...I'm a photographer..so i say lets take a picture of us. So we're lying face up on the bed, and looking up at the camera which i am barely holding in my hand..and somehow, this heavy camera slips and hits her right in the mouth, breaking her lip with a pretty big gash and knocking out 2 of her front teeth..I had to rush her to the hospital. since she needed emergency dental work. and needed stitches to close up the big gash on her upper lip. I felt bad. Her dad wanted to sue me for the damage..i was broke as a joke back then. it got ugly...for the next 6 months until i left that job, we would see each other in the hall or elevators and not say a word to one another...

Man. I cringed when I read that last part. Lucky things worked themselves out though.

How'd the photo come out?

Well the camera had one of those big long lens on it. so the part that hit her mouth was the edge of the lens, which sliced her lip open and knocked out two of her teeth. ironically, it took a photo, but when i had the film developed, the photo looked like what appeared to be a very blurred, close up shot of her mouth. who knew cameras were dangerous..

I love using the "let's watch a movie" line. Ahh, such a classic.

The camera thing didn't sound like it worked out for you, I'll skip that one.
