How WON’T You Die?
June 12, 2020 at 2:26 pm
I was browsing my Harlan Ellison stuff when I ran across the essay ‘The Day That I Died’, in which the author imagines various ways that his life might end.
It got me thinking. In what way(s) are you, personally, LEAST likely to snuff it?
I’m extremely unlikely to die as a result of:
-My parachute failing to open.
-Being thrown from a horse.
-Overdosing on recreational drugs.
-Accidentally shooting myself while cleaning my gun.
-Choking on a slice of pizza.
-Beetroot poisoning.
-Getting lost while camping/hiking/mountaineering.
-Alcohol poisoning.

Jumping out a bedroom window with my pants in my hand.

Going to leave them behind, are you?

I won't die in the Playboy mansion, with a smile on my face.

I have to second the parachute thing and anything else that involves heights.
A motorcycle accident - unless one runs me over.

Or a motorcycle falls out of an airplane without a parachute and lands on you.
Irony writ large - eh?
Like the man who never drank and alcohol STILL killed him. A beer lorry ran over his nice, clean liver.
