P3D 'The Falling Vintage Viewer' in Eye-Popping 3D

So I'm out with a couple of dames last night showing them--as always--my 
latest 3D pictures (always trying to make new converts).  It's the wee hours, 
and I get out of the car, carefully carrying my Baja case when there is 
suddenly a loud crashing sound.  It takes me a moment to realize that my 
Kodaslide 11 viewer slid out of the case, smashing into the pavement.  
Apparently I had somehow knocked the latch open and voila--disaster.  It took 
me a moment to gather the courage to pick the viewer up and survey the 
damage, praying against odds it was undamaged.  Of course not--a few chips, 
and a hairline crack at the top of one lens.  My wife had to talk me out of 
lying prostrate in front of Rambler and commanding her to back a tire up over 
my head a few times (or sixty).

I bought this viewer in BRAND-NEW SHAPE, and I mean MINT.  I had even used DR 
T's book to fix the focussing pad--me, who can't fix ANYTHING.  It lasted 
decades in its pristine condition--and then I had to get my grubby mitts on 
it and RUIN it.  I have just hidden it in the closet because I can't bear to 
LOOK at the damn thing.

I have no theories about the stereo window, no comments pro or con about the 
swimsuit issue, I just had to tell everybody how BAD I FEEL, ahahaha.  
Accidents do happen and I'm sure everybody has their horror stories, but I 
feel like a LIMB has been torn from me.  Don't let this happen to you! 

Bartender, make it a stiff one.
