I was taught a pogovorka that this brings to mind - can't remember the Russian, but it translates more or less as "The church is near, but the way is icy. The tavern is far, but I will walk carefully."

pogovorki

looked like a Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton skit. I want to think she did it on purpose, I laughed out loud. Hilarious.
The skateboarding dog is awesome.

I visited the world's tallest flag pole, building, office building, so it was time to visit the world's shopping mall. With the world's largest skating rink.
You couldn't find a kinder person than my travel mate.
At the rink, we observed a little boy learning to skate. His teacher provided him with a device that resembled a walker on skates. The teacher left the boy to practice.
And he fell. Then, he got up half way, fell. Then he grabbed onto the device, skated furiously in place, then fell. When he got up, he fell backwards. After a few attempts to stand, he fell sideways, did the splits.
It was my travel pal who finally let rip a laugh. I told her we were both likely gonna burn in hell, or something like that, because we then laughed so damn hard for 20 minutes, we just couldn't walk away! Just watching him fall in new ways became fascinating, and very funny.
To this day, several years later, we still mention it, still absolutely crack us up.
It would be different if the kid got hurt. He was eager to fall, it appeared.
This woman failing to conquer Mother Nature is much the same.
She didn't get hurt, and it is funny to watch people slip and fall.
