#1. Buy a brand new SUV with all the bells and whistles! Then do something, incredibly stupid, like drive it around at night. TWICE, THAT'S RIGHT - TWICE - THIS NEARLY BOUGHT ME THE FARM.
#2. Here's another one that I'm sure most people have missed: TAKE YOUR GUNS TO THE RANGE FOR AN AFTERNOON OF SHOOTING. (I know because I used to be one of those people; and, the first time, it took a wiser friend to save me from looking down the muzzle of one of my own guns!) The SECOND TIME this happened to me, I was the one who pulled an S&W Model 59 from behind my back and asked the rhetorical question; 'Are you, really, sure that you want to play this game with me?' (He didn't.)
If you think something like this could never happen to you, well, remember a couple of guys named, 'Platt and Maddox'? Guess where they got several of their guns from! (And the legal owner was left, behind, for the gators to munch on.)
#3. Grow old. BAD GUYS LOVE OLD PEOPLE; and, damn it, now I'm one of them!
I'm sure there are many other, 'high risk' things you might find yourself involved in; things like: breaking up with a former lover; being forced to go through life better looking than you, might otherwise, have a right to be; or being forced by economic necessity to take a part-time job at, either, a convenience store or an all-night gas station.
Feel free to add to the list; and, 'Merry Christmas'! :santa:
