Once upon a time in alt.atheism, dear sweet (ck19bla@msn.com) made
the light shine upon us with this:

1. squat
2. take three deep breaths
3. stand up
4. stick your thumb in your mouth and blow as hard as you can
WITHOUT letting any air out.

Hahahhahaha!!!

I used to do that in college. But I would get stoned first. The
first time I did it I woke up with my room mate standing over me,
trying to chant me down from some kind of hypnotic trance. I realized
I had fallen backward and my head had landed between the iron frame of
my bed, and the wooden frame of our easy chair. A few degrees
different either way and I would not be writing this post right now.
Well, that's life, eh?

"If you're lucky," apparently!

Yes indeed. I've had many such lucky moments. Like the one whilst
enjoying California's Highway 25 on my motorcycle, and taking a left
corner just a tad too fast. With a rock cliff a few feet to the right of
me, I rode the white line on the right of the roadway and FORCED myself
to do the impossible, steering right into the cliff face to increase my
lean amgle to the left, which decreased my left turn radius, and saved my
life. Sometimes you have control, if you can manage to convince yourself
of it.
