Yeah, but the point is, you could…
Once I accepted a dare to jump into water I didn’t know, at a lake that had been an old quarry. One jerk said he would “show me” it was deep enough, and swam where I was to land and pretended to bob up and down to show it went over his head. It didn’t. Fortunately, I went in feet first, an sprained my ankle on the shallow rocks. I could have sprained my head while under water. Needless to say, I didn’t even talk to those jerks again.
You are very fortunate Fonz, there are no end of cases where people end up as quadrapalegics from diving accidents.
Phew! There are some really crazy things here! Mine isn’t so crazy, or at least it wasn’t at the time.
Back in the 1970s, when I was at high school, I was dared to walk down the main hallway of my high school during the school day, past the principal’s and vice-principal’s office, smoking a cigarette. Getting caught would have resulted in suspension at the very least.
I took the dare, and made it safely.
But nowadays, I wonder if getting caught for the same thing would result in not only a suspension, but also rehab.
Oh well. I didn’t get caught, and so it didn’t go on my permanent record.
Got up and sang “Rape Me” in front of a crapload of people at a party
or
played chicken against my friend near the train tracks. Did that once. I jumped away, fell, and nearly broke my leg. I was pretty young…and stupid
