oooooh....
then you really won't like the statistical odds...
Odds aren't that you will be hit by a bus before getting your hands on a new device...
Due to the amount of time per day spent domestically doing things that are a daily given...
The odds are greater that you will die:
- on the toilet
- naked (in a very unflattering heap) in the shower (mind you it would be far more disturbing to be found dead fully clothed in the shower..)
- from tripping down stairs.
- from falling from alternately standing on one foot and ungainly balancing or hopping on the spot while putting on or taking off ones pants or stockings (for women that is...or for men if that is your thing too...) at night and / or in the morning.
- choking on either your breakfast lunch or dinner...even a snack.
- from aspiration ..(drowning).. in your tea cup.
Or any of a countless number of common domestic possibles that are done with regularity and consume many minutes each ...daily ...
You are more likely to die from any of the above than hit by a bus...
the running or stepping into the path of a bus consumes perhaps a few seconds out of a day compared to the plus or minus 20 min in a shower daily, the amount of time on the toilet daily or any of the other common seemingly mundane and benign daily duties and functions..
Since an ignoble and boring death is hardly a way to be remembered...and soon one is forgotten...
I aim to be as memorable as possible and a good story if not folk legend ... as witnessed by the attending police, paramedics, coroners ...etc...
(I know and deal with them all on a daily work basis and we share some unique and odd stats and interesting "death by..." stories and witnessed incidents...some may call it bleak or morbid or macabre humour...but frankly it is humanizing...and finding humour even in death...is always a victory over what many succumb in life to ...as despair...)
On the ocassion of finding my derelict shucked shell.
I intend on trying my best to fulfill as many of the common domestic possible "death by..." criteria as possible...
By dying from choking on a crumpet whilst trying to wash it down and drowning on shower water I gargled (naturally I have to be in the shower at the time to gargle shower water..) whilst slipping from the shower with one leg in my nylons...er...I mean my pants...to land in a completely undignified heap ..breaking my neck on the bottom of the toilet... with my sorry @ss in the air and legs splayed looking in all totality like a very sad potted petunia.
