Patton staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddies.
He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, and slowly tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom,
Unfortunately he misjudged the bottom step!. He tried to steady himself by grabbing the banister, but his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump.
