Pammi 0 #1 May 2, 2001 Read this on WFFC message board:4,000 people are injured by tea pots every year. 40,000 Americans are injured by toilets every year. 60% of electrocutions occur while talking on the phone during a thunderstorm. 13 people a year are killed by vending machines falling on themSheesh...I'll take my chances jumping out of a plane and stay away from vending machines!

gus 1 #2 May 2, 2001 I get a huge buzz just walking past vending machines, man those things are RADICAL! Perhaps I'll make it to Junk Day one time and ride a vending machine out the back of a skyvan, that would rock.84% of statistics are made up on the spot.Gus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Divadiver 0 #8 May 2, 2001 Greg:*************Im a little curious, toilets seem quite harmless to me, how would one hurt themselves?*************What you want to do is go to your favorite department store and buy one of those bathroom sets with the warm and fuzzy toilet seat covers. Go home put the little fuzzy bugger on the seat and when forget all about it until you go to pee. Peeing instructions:Lift toilet seat to upright positionUnzip pants (take out tool)Find comfortable standing positionProceed to start peeingJust as stream starts, warm and fuzzy toilet seat cover expandscausing the seat to move in a downward motionImmediately cut stream short and step away, I say step away from the toilet.Or have that darn thing slam down causing injury to ye' ol one eye monster!On the other hand, we woman have been known to actually gracefully sit ourselves in the bowlwhen the seat has been left up. This has resulted in more than one broken tail bone! Cold as hell too!Or so I've been told!Divadiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 0 #9 May 2, 2001 QuoteWhat you want to do is go to your favorite department store and buy one of those bathroom sets with thewarm and fuzzy toilet seat covers.Ahhhhh yes, the frilly, fuzzy, feminine toilet coozy thingys. Fortunatly, I dont use these things, I used to think it was because they are inherently unsanitary (IMHO) but it must have been a subliminal danger message from the little head to the big head, maybe. Well, at least it is not what I was originally thinking, that there is some sort of "patriotic American handstand before you go manover" or the "in America, we only go in the dark routine" that I have not been informed about. Whew, I would hate to be left out or something!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #13 May 3, 2001 You're right Gus, statistics can be manipulated to suit the person quoting them. I believe that skydiving is inherently dangerous, but only to be respected as such. I respect it enough not to get complacent, which keeps me on my toes. BTW, my favorite piece of junk shoved out of the aircraft in the "Good Stuff" video was the guy riding the water heater. Very aerodynamic. Wooohooo!Respectfully,SP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
