1. My car can break down in expensive ways
2. You can get food poisoning from the icing on your cake
3. You sneak over to your buddy’s place with the hot secretary you’re hoping to score with, she’s dressed for sex in a hot number and draped all over you, and as you open the door your wife and friends all yell, _ **Surprise!!!** _

ETA: well, that might lead to death.
