Okay, so I figure we should share some stories in a competition-style Death Sift Talk post. Who knows the most amount of people grievously injured and/or deceased by interesting circumstances? These circumstances cannot be something common (Cancer, car wreck, etc.) However, if you have some freakish circumstances leading up to that--go ahead and use that.

I will start. And note, I use levity to coup with my life. Nothing in here is meant to offend or belittle these people or circumstances. If I didn't laugh, I would cry.

Major--I knew a Sergeant in the Army who was in a Humvee. I had tried to jump on his Humvee because it had a padded bench in the back, but there was no space left. So, complaining, I hopped into the hard-seat Humvee behind his own. Then the lead was blown up by a landmine. Fuck the padded seats!

Well, that was common enough. But everyone on that Humvee survived And so a few days later the sergeant was sent home to see his family. When his chopper took off, it was shot down and crashed immediately. His best friend, right in front of him, died; he lived.

So, he get's back and has a stroke. He lives... As far as I know, he still lives today.

Major--My sister died of heart problems. Common? Yes... But she had been switched at birth and was our sister from then on. Through sickness and in death she was the best sister I could have asked for.

Minor--A friend of mine shot himself in the hand

Major/Minor--A friend of mine chopped off his finger with a mechanical wood saw. He was pretty "chipper" about the ordeal... He made like 30 jokes.

Minor/Major--A boss got cancer in her eye and now has no left eye...

Major--A friend of mine (Notice something about my friends?) was run over by a bulldozier and lost his leg... And here I thought he was douching out on me the whole time. But it turned out he had a good excuse after all.

Minor--I shot three people at one time Yay. I was training in my Army days and shot the rebar, which broke the bullet into three pieces. It hit the person to my right in the forehead. The instructor next to me in her chest. And the one to her left in her chest too. They all survived.

***As I said, use things that are rare... or circumstances that are rare... The winner get's a hug from me (But I wouldn't take it... never know what might happen.)

If I win--ah, someone decides to hug me...again, I wouldn't if I were me
