A friend of mine tossed a milk dud in the air and caught it in his throat. He choked to death enroute to the hospital. This was when ambulances were a high speed run from point A to the emergency room and there were no parameds or PAs in the back. 1979. I've never eaten one since. Or a Pom Pom.

You don't think the "throwing it into the air" part contributed?

One rule with Three parts
1, All drivers would use the right lane except to overtake and pass.
1a, Prior to passing they would check their mirriors for other drivers already overtaking and passing
1b, Prior to and during lane changing they would use their blinkers (Left) to signal their intent on changing lanes.
1c, Complete the pass in a timely fashion.
2, Return to the right lane for normal travel
2a, Prior to return to the right lane they would check their mirrors for adequate clearance
2b, Prior to and during lane changing they would use their blinkers (Right) to signal their intent on changing lanes.
3, When approaching oncoming traffic, whether on a divided highway or not, flash high beams to warn if you have encountered any Highway Patrolmen or other potential mishaps fairly recently.

Optional;
When passing or being passed, it is ok to acknowledge the other driver by extending the forearm and hand upward and quickly flicking the wrist to and fro, of course with all 5 fingers extended. If all 5 fingers are not available, just the thumb would be acceptable or the thumb and the pinky. If the thumb and pinky method is utilized, twist the wrist back and forth.


1) try that in Japan.
2a) try that in Qatar
3) optional, try that in Australia.....

Hockey ball: As a kid we use to go to the local pond in winter and play football in our hockey skates. I got tackled once and took a blade in the forearm opened me up pretty good.

I may revise this one later... Jumping as high as I could to grab a Frisbee on a beach, then landed in a hole.

If you asked "Name one person you would jail unconditionally regardless of any crime", would we all answer Goodell?

It would be a nice start if drivers in the USofA would drive right, then I would worry about which side of the road other countries drive on or what their local cultures are regarding which digit is a bird flip or whatever.

I always drive right. I find that when I drive left I tend to drive into oncoming vehicles... But when I drove in the UK I was successful at driving left.

Does fighting with sledge hammers count?
Thumb caught in a wood splitter?
Tree dropped on my head?

There's a few....

fighting with sledge hammers - only if you started it

Thumb caught in a wood splitter - not if wife was nagging at the moment

Tree dropped on my head - were you cutting it down at the time?

Started and finished.

Dad was running controls, the log moved a bit and I tried to reposition as the ram came forward.

No, it spun around while I was working nearby. The guy cutting should have been paying better attention to where I was, and I should not have turned my back on him.

You should change your name to man on borrowed time...

They were all many years ago.

Stopped having trees dropped on my head in the late 80's, Only took me a few times to learn that lesson.
Stopped putting my fingers in front of hydraulic rams in the early 80's. Only took me once to learn that lesson.

And let's just say I haven't had a fight involving sledge hammers since the early 90's.
