If there's one thing I know from every dicey situation I've ever been in, including in the military, it's that you never know what your brain will pull out of its darkest reaches when you least expect it.
Statistically most common last words are "Oh shit.", but you never know.
...are there statistics on that?
nice thing i always remember in the fd: if it’s going to kill you, you’d be dead. (hazmat, fire, etc) So don’t worry and do what you’re there to do.
in the case of OP, relaxing and dying is probably all i’d do. i have people “up there” waiting for me anyway. 🤷♀️
I remember when I was in the Navy, I wasn't paying attention once and stood up into a bundle of cables running along the overhead. Part of it sliced my scalp open and blood was pouring down my face. I stood there completely flabbergasted with my mind an utter and complete blank, and the only thing that came out of my mouth, completely unprompted, was "Shit in God's beard!"
No idea why. I had never said it before or ever since. Brains are weird.
damn! also ouch.
PSA: when you cut the excess off a zip tie, the remaining nub can be razor sharp.
for. real.
That's a great one! Mine was "fuck a duck! Fuck ten ducks, actually." My friends never let me live that one down.
