Possibly more stupid than buying shares just before the GFC... Last week at the Mandurah Ironman I popped to the toilets to have a pre-race nervous wee, I tripped as I entered and somehow manged to drop my car keys down the toilet - one of those portable festival types. They hit the bottom of the bowl and kept on going.. I stood there in disbelief for a good 10 minutes. Luckily the organisers found a cleaner to come and help. She turned up with a bin bag and when I asked what that was for she smiled and told me I had to put my arm in it and dig for my keys. If I was lucky they'd be on the surface, if I was unlucky they would be underneath a solid foot of shit, piss tampons and toilet paper. I was unlucky. She showed me how to lift the entire toilet up so I had access to the tray below and left me to it. Easily the most disgusting thing I've ever had to do. Ever. However I eventually retrieved my keys and received a round of applause from the small crowd that had gathered, intrigued by my predicament.

If you can beat that for stupidity I would like to hear from you so I don't feel so bad.
