Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 03, 2015
Transcript:
Angry Bob was angry. So he went to see a life coach. "You worry too much," said the life coach, "and you lead a sedentary life. You need to travel, seek adventure, seize the day." So Angry Bob booked a trip to New Zealand. There he hiked volcanos, surfed waves, and decided to overcome his fear of bungee jumping. "Fear is stupid," he shouted from atop a high bridge as the bungee instructor attached the bungee cord to his leg. "From now on, I"m going to live a new life! One where I seize the day!" Bob shouted as he jumped from the bridge... ...before the instructor could finish securing Bob's cord. Bob's new life lasted four seconds. Rat: Never seize the day. Pig: I will sit on my couch for life!

that reminds me of an old Sindbad movie, where the catch phrase was, “Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel.”

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy states: “There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. Its knack lies in learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss. … Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties.”

There’s an old saying I just made up “If at first you don’t succeed, don’t try bungee jumping”

it is never the fall that kills you – or so i’ve been told – it is the sudden stop at the end.

Didn’t notice your comment on “Francis Macomber” before posting. I most likely had to teach that puppy at some point – could remember the vague outlines of the plot, but not the details. Had to Wikipedia it. Don’t recall what I asked the students to do, if I taught it as well as reading it.

Bob’s velocity was terminal when he hit the bottom, just a different kind of terminal.
