Woman in purple: He could never resist taking an opposing position on an old saying...
Tombstone reads: See? What can make you stronger can also kill you!
Sure, what doesn’t kill you can make you stronger… but it is also just as likely that it will weaken you to the point that the next thing will kill you. Also… what doesn’t kill you can turn you into a weather barometer.
Greetings, Mr. Miller. A challenge for you, please. My life’s motto is, and thus my head stone could read, “Always maximize your options.” I am curious to see how you would draw that up and what kind of characters will be graveside. Thanks!
@phylum my ‘favorite’ is “Lost life by stab in falling on ink eraser, evading six young women trying to give him birthday kisses in office Metropolitan Life Building.” (An ink eraser was a lot like an Exacto knife, and was used for scraping – erasing – ink marks from paper.)

One BIG improvement to this comments site wouldbe to give us a ‘delete’ option. I never spot my errors until I’ve clicked on ‘submit.’Sometimes I’m able to correct my error – and other times I can’t. But at least, I TRY.

Nope, sorry. If it killed him, it didn’t make him stronger.

It’s amazing how much punishment one can take for actually being killed.

What ever it was, he knows was the alternative is. Then, some choices vary; but don’t always let you down.

I always thought the saying was dumb since what doesn’t kill you can cripple you.

BlueJayRobinAnd a case of jungle rot can make you feel weaker and smell stronger at the same time.

I always get this feeling when lying under my barbells and realizing the rickety bench supporting them was assembled 30+ years ago.
