My second career was teaching technical subjects in high school; I loved it.

I told the students about the time when I was a bit younger than they were and fell out of a 200 foot tall tree without getting hurt.

They expressed a lack of trust in me, so I finally told ‘em I was only 2 feet up in the tree.

Hell, I wasn’t stupid.

What kind of an “adult” are you to think that Normal does not include dangerous? A child?
You still haven’t grown up, apparently.

See I would have told them I was holding a cat at the time and since cats always land on their feet I knew I would too as long as I kept hold of the cat.

Yeah, well, I jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge.

It was only a 12-inch jump to the ground, but it’s still true that I jumped off the GGB.
