Ball boy catches federer's ball (doing things you don't normally do)

Love it when stuff like this happens.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/video/2012/jan/27/australian-open-ballboy-catch-video?fb_action_ids=10150626030366055%2C10150518753813443%2C10150566737521821%2C10150568103406600&fb_action_types=video.watches&fb_source=other_multiline

Like the other week I had a bit of chewing gum and said 'right I'll kick it into that bin over there' The bin was about 20 meters away. I was just messing around, I didn't think I'd do it and BOOM in it goes. It was in front of GIRLS as well.

  • yeah

    i was walking through huddersfield once and totally wanted to bin my train ticket so threw it to the bin and that sucker slid straight through a 1 inch gap between bin and wobbly bin lid. i looked like the champion train ticket thrower of the world.

        • Depends.

          If you just saunter off afterwards expecting us to stare at your departing bum it's not very cool. However, if you're clearly made up at such good fortune (and yes, that's all it is) then I'd give it a 4. Purely for the cuteness factor.

          from my supine position on one sofa into the ashtray on the arm of the sofa on the other side of the living room. Boom!

        • I threw a pie at a school once.

          I didn't want it, so upon seeing a sort of mate on the horizon I ran up behind him and threw the whole pie (must have been about four inches in diameter) as hard as I could towards the ground next to him.

          But there was no kind of explosion. Everyone assumed that I had lobbed it fast enough to open a worm hole and that it had flown into another dimension. But I'd thrown that pie so hard that it had compressed enough upon flukily his pocket to be sitting in there happily, and whole. Then someone punched it to mash it up a bit more.

        • when I played basketball in school

          and time was about to run out so I decided to just shoot facing the other way from beyond the half way line (in a full sized court) and it totally went in and everyone wanted to buy me irn bru.

              • i was totally the first person at my school to be awarded school colours for basketball

                now i can't move without getting tired

          • gotta say, i like some of the bits of that clip more than others

            I'd rather hear it compared to Trevor Penney than Ricky Ponting. the catch itself was nicely taken, but tennis balls are quite easy to catch, but the kid watched it into his hand, taking it wide to his right without any theatrics. it's good to see such an understated reaction from the kids these days. nice
