I meant to post about the coolest guy in my MBA program.

Well, there’s lots of cool guys… but this one dude moved way up the scale on badassness the other day.

We were in the middle of going over balance sheets in Financial Accounting class and all of a sudden there was this loud, horrible BANG! sound that came from the back of the room.

Matt Stone, the guy, must have been leaning in his chair a certain way — and basically the post that holds the swivel chair to the table just disintegrated.

The whole class looked back in shock, to find him flat on his back with the broken chair on top of him.

What would you do in this situation?

He screamed, “THIS IS MY NIGHTMARE!!!”

The whole class was laughing as he stood up with the broken chair in his hands.

I couldn’t even laugh. I was in awe of his cleverness at that moment.

He embraced the awkward situation. And he will forever be a badass in my books.
