put yourselves in my shoes.

You broke your arm by doing something really stupid and embarrasing.. and theres no way you would want to tell anyone how it happened. What would be the story you make up to tell people how it happened?

Im thinking ill tell them I got into a streetfight..

I'd stick as close to the truth as possible, but downplay it enough so that nobody needs to know about how stupid or embarrassing it was. If you stay close to the truth, you're less likely to be called out on your lie on the occasion that something in your story doesn't add up.

I have a perfect story:

You were in a bar fight with 6 guys...
You beat them all into unconsciousness and then as you were leaving you slipped on their blood.

Saving a girl from a rapist/mugger/mime, but he threw you over a ledge to get his revenge and you landed on your arm. Luckily, you're so hardcore that you're not dead.

Just say you fell down a staircase or something, tried to break your fall with your arm but broke it instead.
Unless you got plenty of other bruises, a streetfight is very unbelievable.

You tripped and fell. Thats it end of story, no further discussion needs to happen when people ask.

Unless it was a streetfight with one guy, and you threw one punch which was so powerful it blew the mans head of and broke the very fibres of your arm. That believable enough for you?

Say with confidence, "Got in a fight."
They'll respond, "Wow, really?"
Then, look defeated, and admit you got 'in a fight' with whatever actually caused the break (the ground, a wall, the handlebars of a bicycle)... and lost.

It's the best of both worlds.

Ya, nobody'll question that.
I'm just gonna go over here and knock my head against the wall until it breaks.

Aha! There is another scenario! You got in a fight with a brick wall and won, although it managed to break your arm before it crumbled.

You were smacking your ho so hard you broke your arm.

You broke it saving puppies and orphans from a fire, and still built them all a home.

You were climbing a tree, a squirril attacked you and you fell down? Thats fairly embarrassing in and of itself, but you can laugh along because it didn't actually happen.

Say that you were in an extreme knitting accident. Better yet, say that you were arm wrestling with a circus strongman and he cracked your arm. Or you could just say that you slipped in a puddle and fell, breaking your arm.

I once broke my arm by falling over.
Thats all there is to that story, I didn't do it in a streetfight or by punching out angry bears, I just fell over and landed on it in a bad way.

Of course I would never get hurt by punching bears, thats just stupid and crazy, I'm far too good for them to ever land a hit on me.
