Near Death ExperiencesLast time I crashed my bike, as I flew through the air towards the car in front of me not much went through my head apart from "You idiot". No tunnels, no lights to stay away from, no smiling family members beckoning to me.
Surely you've had a better near-death experience?

Not MeBut my cousin.
He was riding pillion on a motorbike. A powerful motorbike.
His friend was driving. His speed-demon friend.
As per the usual Darwinian process of separating good motorbike riders from bad, a crash ensued.
Both were thrown from the bike and through a nearby fence. My good cousin narrowly missed one of the fence posts. Had he hit it, he would even now be adorning the pages of Bizarre magazine in their "Shit! Look at the plight of this Guy! He's got a Fencepost in his SKULL!"
Anyway, he's prostrate on the ground, groggy and badly injured. A mate who had been following them pulled over (as mates are wont to do upon seeing their friends smeared all over a fence) and rushed to their aid. Whilst waiting for the ambulance, the mate asked my cousin if he could get him anything.
The only response?
"Um...you couldn't get me Cindy Crawford's phone number could you?"
And from thence to unconsciousness.
You have to admire a man who uses a near death situation to come up with a line that guaranteed immortality had they been his last words.
