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?

It's my metierOkay. My friends say I look for it. I say I get paid to take the risks. I've been:
-Shot at by East Timorese
-In a 4x4 that flipped 5 times. I had to persuade my driver he was still alive and needed to get out before it caught fire
-In a 4x4 that hung two wheels over a cliff
-Been shark hunting so drunk I couldn't stand
-Fell into a fishpond in my 10-kilo flak jacket
-Flown in a Russian helicopter with drunk pilots and no glass in the windows
-Been in several motorbike accidents, one resulting in temporary blindness
-As I say, I just moved to Baghdad
I also have a wonderful girlfriend waiting for me in my house in Jakarta, so maybe I'll give it a rest. After this mission.
