Snap. I don't like that on stairs either.

Not necessarily. Imagine a plane coming in for landing, overshooting the runway and crashing, leaving you trapped with broken legs and the engine explodes and you burn to death while engulfed by smoke and screams.
You'd die of smoke inhalation pretty quick.

This unPC joke (today, not in 1956) is qualified by the fact that Edwards was a decorated RAF pilot.
There's a Goon Show bit something like:
Secombe: Finally we found a chink in his armour.
Milligan: These Chinese get everywhere.

I'd like to argue this point but fear the details would become too morbid.
I'm always a bit concerned that if I sneeze too hard I might burst a brain vessel and die or at least go blind or something. So I try to sneeze gently.
Also I worry that guys checking their texts in the gym changing room might be secretly filming my willy, all shrunken and wrinkly by the cold pool water. I also worry in the communal shower that the guy next to me might have a dirty disease, and is currently flecking my body with blobs of his shower gel that're literally teeming with cock and anus germs.
Talking of sneezing, there have been documented incidents of people sneezing and literally blowing their brains out of their nose.

I knew I was right. Also, when I'm close to the edge of something high like a cliff or something, there's a little voice that says "Go on, jump" to me. Well not an actual voice, more an internal urge. It's very weird and scares the shit out of me.

Is it your wife?

I know what you mean about the weird urge, though. When waiting to cross a road I sometimes wonder what it would be like to just step out into the traffic.
I hate that. I'm sure I'm going to accidentally on purpose kill myself one day.

There's a police ramp at the side of the new road into town, and I always feel like accelerating to 80 or 90 and hitting that sucker like the goddam Duke Boys. Yee-haw!! The only thing is I'm not sure my 800cc Daewoo Matiz would survive quite as well as the General Lee.

I know that feeling, and yes very disturbing. On a few occasions I have been in positions where I have been expected to jump from a height 'for fun', which means giving into the urge, which is perhaps even more disturbing.

So what's your boy friends name?

I think everyone gets that.
I'm also careful when I sneeze too. But mainly about shutting my eyes. Don't want 'em.... well, I can't even say it, it's too gross.
