Not capable of feeling fear, eh?

If she can ride as a passenger in a 1963 Chevy Biscayne with bald tires, bad brakes, blown shocks and a defective power steering pump while a one-armed, one-eyed paraplegic who is high on mescaline tries to drive it through a tight, downhill, declining radius, off-camber curve with a 1,200 foot drop just off the edge of pavement, on a polished concrete road surface covered with oil-soaked black ice... ...at 80 mph... ... at night... ...with only one, dimly burning, misaligned headlight to show the way...

...and HONESTLY say she felt no fear, THEN I will believe she is not capable of feeling fear.

Stop.

You had me at "mescaline".

I've known people who've experienced a temporary form of this. One who is normally deathly afraid of heights, but had to be stopped from climbing on a 2nd floor railing just to see what it was like. The person wasn't suicidal, or impaired by any chemical substances. They simply were not afraid of things they knew should scare them and had scared them in the past.

When the stars line up like that, you gotta know you'll survive the ride down the mountain, because whatever is at the bottom is going to be much, much worse.

When were you in New Mexico?

[Grizzled Bear]

Damn it Wayne! That was years ago! Just let it go!

We went out for pizza afterwards and everyone agreed it was a bit of a lark and we all had a fine time at it!
