John McCain hit his head on his car door the other day, has bandaids on top of his head.
My question is does anyone think he actually fell, not just bumped his head. Ive banged my head into alot of car doors and trunks and Ive never needed bandages. But could he have fallen he is 71, so was George Carlin.

Just a thought.

1. Samarai Motorist.
Reference to Buck Henry having to wear a band-aid on his head due to a wound he received during the live SNL show, doing a samarai skit with John Belushi.

2. Fallen ON TOP on his head? Nah, either the car door story is true
or perhaps he's "covering up" some minor medical treatments.

3. Well, since he has thinning hair, that would make it
more likely that he would need bandaids...

Not much hair to keep the cut from happening...

5. Your head will hit the weatherstrip on the door frame
No way can you actually cut your head especially if you are a short little squirt like McCain. There are no sharp edges on the inside of the door.

19. I was being and idiot.
We were leaving dock on our sail boat and I stepped down on a dock line and rolled my ankle. Of course the rest of me came crashing down as well. Ice is a wonderful thing. It is a little purple but hey, at least I'm not in Baghdad. I can't complain. Thank you for your concern. Peace,Kim

29. I tripped over the vacuum cleaner a while back & damned
near crippled myself :silly:..but I have never fallen on the top of my head :)

My guess is that they removed some "lesions", and he does not want people to know..

8. Old skin is fragile skin.
I'm 62 and I've noticed over the years that I get cuts more easily as I get older. Bumps that would not have produced a cut when I was 40 now sometimes do open a cut. (Fortunately I still heal just as fast.)

13. When my 2 1/2 year old grandson scrapes his knee,
he has to have a matching band aide (Spiderman is popular) on the OTHER knee as well. He calls them "knee stickers." I wonder if Grampa has a reciprocal band aide, too. Say, maybe an ass sticker.

15. Gravity isn't age specific and age doesn't mean anything.
Ability is the determining factor.

16. Are you bald?
Hair goes a long way towards protecting your dome. As a bald dude, I've smashed my dome once or twice on a car door and ended up with a scrape.

24. My Dad used to say not only does it help protect, it also helps warn
you if you're getting close to hitting your head.

20. That could explain some things about him - except that he was just like that before he hit his head!

25. Top of the head? History of skin cancers?
Alternate theory?
