Survival

When we go hiking, Hubs loves to find the most dangerous-looking ledge possible and go scampering across it like a nimble mountain goat.


During a hike yesterday, I asked Hubs what he honestly thought would happen if, you know, just theoretically, he lost his footing on a slippery precipice and fell several hundred feet onto a jagged bed of rocks.

This was his response.

First of all, I wouldn't fall.  Second of all, even if I did fall, I wouldn't die, because of my sheer awesomeness.  At worst, I'd probably break a couple of bones.

As I was lying there unable to move, a bear might come by and be like


and I'd be like


and then I'd cook it with my laser vision.


Needless to say, my fears are alleviated.

  7. Haha! Love it! I actually read a book where a kid could cook deer with his laser eyes. So it's totally a real thing.

  8. I ask Manfriend "What if" questions all the time. He always has a response and usually acts out what his plan of action would be for me. He is a good sport.

  9. I'm so glad we don't have bears here. I would like laser eyes, especially overnight hiking - you wouldn't have to carry a stove.

  10. I read that bear meat is hard to digest when you have gaping holes oozing with blood and broken bones. But I could be wrong.
