For example, the people who count their time in the hospital as "that
inconvienient and painful time", and have no idea why it happened.
As soon as they recover, they do it again.
There is a fine line between adventure and stupidity.
Some adventures are dangerous, and you aren't stupid to do it.
But some things... the ones that accomplish nothing except to roll
Darwin's weighted dice...
