How Not To Make An Entrance

Every one knows what it's like to enter a class late. You try and walk in and hope that you don't draw too much attention to yourself as you try to find a seat, most likely the first one you find in the very back. Unfortunately, for one gentlemen today, he did pretty much the opposite. About 15 minutes into lecture, someone tried to sneakily step over a row of seats as to avoid squeezing past several people trying to attentively take notes. However, he must have mistepped as the entire class looked to see someone slowly stumbling and flailing loudly. However, this was not a brief slip up; this fall lasted several seconds (in what seemed like slow motion) as he lost his footing and books and finally landed with his face on back of the seats in the row in front of him. He tried to brush himself off find and chuckled a little bit too as he finally found his seat trying to face the hundreds of faces staring at him. I would have expected a bow after that magnificent feat.
