OK, There is a Down Side

So, the former, more-penguin-shaped behind would have come in handy today. Seems that losing a couple inches off the rear end means that there is less padding in the landing zone when you slip while clearing the snow off the new asphalt driveway. Also, the decreasing layer of insulating blubber is throwing off internal thermoregulation, unless that is an unlisted side effect of taking a driveway to the noggin*.

*-since certain maternal penguins will worry, I'll assure you in advance that I checked and am reasonably certain I don't have a concussion, just a sore backside.

Upside:
While you may have got bumped, falling on your butt, (sorry to hear it), consider if you still weighed as much as before, the force of gravity would have caused you to land more heavily.
So, you got off (comparatively) lightly :))
