"So," you might be thinking, "why did Todd post this picture of someone other than him and why should we get any amusement from it?" Well, dear reader, I understand the question. It's not so much the picture that's funny as it is the backstory that's funny.

This was during our annual winter beach trip to Hilton Head, SC, in February 2009. AJ, my son who is the subject of the photo, wanted to learn how to throw a frisbee, so being the good dad I am, I taught him. Of course, being the proud dad I am, I decided to take a picture of him using his new skill.

Note the wind up he had.

Note the outstanding hip flexion leading his body into the powerful throw.

Note the appropriate strain on his angelic little face as he strains to throw the frisbee as hard as he possibly can to make his dad proud.

Note the blessed absence of presence of mind of any other adult in my family to grab the camera from me and memorialize me, writhing on the sand, doubled over, appropriately grimacing and holding onto my n*ts after AJ's throw connected squarely with my groin and dropped all 280 pounds of me where I stood!

Yeah, that's one picture that would have no doubt made the list, but, alas, this is the best I could do!
