A narrow escape!

I had done my washing, brought in some bins, had a shower and poured myself a little can of beer into a tulip shaped glass. I placed it at the corner of my table, planning to do some work and maybe watch some football highlights. I sat down and then swivelled round for some reason, swiping the glass with my right hand. Of course the beer went all over the place, but in the direction away from my laptop. Am I not a lucky boy?
