A Cool Story

I was climbing a pole for work the other day and i got about 12 feet up when my spikes cut out and I fell to the ground. I wasn't hurt too bad, I tore my pants and my shirt and I had a sore ankle for a couple of days but the coolest part happened two days later. i was sitting on the couch at night when I felt a slight itch near my ribs. I lifted my shirt up and saw a black dot about as big around as a pencil lead and it was dark black. My first thought was that it was a tick so i got some tweasers and started pulling on it. I was a little surprised when it kept coming out. I had a sliver from the pole about an inch long that had gone straight into me between my ribs. Thats my cool story for the day.
