In response to the Daily Post’s Daily Prompt:
Witness Protection. When you do something scary or stressful–bungee jumping or public speaking, etc.–do you prefer to be surrounded by friends or by strangers? Why?
No shrinking violet, am I
Yet the circumstances do decree
If an audience of strangers or friends
Is preferable to me.
When speaking to a group
Of unfamiliar folks my
Sense of timing is impeccable
And I’m full of witty jokes.
At karaoke, though, I find
The better I know the crowd
The more relaxed my vocal chords
So I sing out loud and proud.
If ever I should bungee jump
I want six friends around
To serve as my pall bearers
In case I splatter on the ground.
Peace, people!
Ha! I have actually bungee jumped. A total blast. Here is where I did it right here in Denver Colorado at the local amusement park: https://www.elitchgardens.com/theme-park/thrill-rides/m.extendeddirectory/464/view/xlr8r.

I am impressed! I’m sure I’d do it–as long as I’d had a beer first.

This was a totally safe experience. They have to be very careful and three different employees checked the gear before you could jump.

Well not an adventurer, someone looked at me strangely just this last weekend and said, “You do things I wouldn’t even think of.” It was good and bad 🙂
