A man trains his entire life, after an epiphany that he is very good at it naturally, to throw javelins. Finally, at 25 and the prime of his life, he enters the national track and field competition. He takes his first throw, and it lands 2 feet short of the current leader. Angry at getting so close but still not being first, on his second throw he hurls the javelin with all his strength, and it sails through the air as if it was meant to fly, passing the current world record by more than 50 feet, and it lands straight through the neck of a judge.
Not only does he go to prison for manslaughter, but his world record throw isn't counted because it never landed in the ground.
Okay, more ironic than inventive, but I'm trying to amuse here.
