More people die from bee stings than from snake bites.

Yeah, but our fears may not necessarily be rational.

I dont like heights or snakes. My gutters are 18ft up and I'm holding the ladder with white knuckles when I'm up there. Seeing snakes on TV makes me uncomfortable - sum-thin might jump from under the couch and bite me. But I jump in the car every morning after a quick cup of coffee and a kiss on the wife's cheek.

What is most likely to kill me? Makes no sense I have no fear where the highest risk is.

For some reason that I never understood..... Blimps..... Darn things are HUGE .... the sound of the motors ....flying so slow.....something about them.... I dont like em.... never have.

Spiders.... no problem at all.... snakes... they are cool .... Bats dont bother me at all..... Tight places.... no problems ..... Rats.... nothing to them..... But Blimps.... They give me the willies.

I don't fear death as much as I fear living too long or being so sick I can't wipe my own rear.

Hernia surgery several years ago put me temporarily there, so to speak (well let's just say it was hard to reach around back). THAT indeed is something to fear. We have a wiener!

Pablo, I'm not even going to try to make any sense out of that last statement, especially within the context of your post. I'm sort of hoping that's a typo, but I'm not sure.

My wife. And her Mother.

Mori - Exactly as typed. You have not had hernia surgery, or at least not had the polypropylene patch sewed in. A common feature, even though fully mobile in almost every way is the the temporary inability or rather a great difficulty in, reaching back and wiping between the cheeks of one's own buttocks.

"We have a wiener" is a slang phrase for "we have a winner", referring, of course, to Bob Woods award winning fear post.

Never take anything mori says at face value

He just never lets a target of opportunity pass him by without an appropriate comment ;^)

 

[moribundman]

Gary Allen knows me almost too well. I'll have to slip a few inappropriate comments by him in order to regain some unpredictability.

Pablo, life as a cyborg with a posterior plastic patch implant sounds uncomfortable!

 

[Pablo]

The patch is anterior, thank you very much.

 

[moribundman]

So much easier to show it off...

Okay, now I'm terribly afraid of getting a hernia and having to run around with a patched abdomen or crotch.
