The oddest compliment I've ever had was this: "Great pair of lungs you have!". Well, not so odd if you picture me getting out of a boat, having just jumped off a bridge in very picturesque surroundings with a rubber band tied to my legs. And I was crazy enough to do this not once, but twice (many years ago). Bungy jumping was all the craze then, and I have my two Certificates of Fearlessness to show for it!
Would I do it again? My lungs protest and I think I have proved my fearlessness already, so no. But try as I might, I cannot fathom what insanity took hold of me that day. Perhaps it was just the recklessness of youth. These days, going up a gondola turn my legs to jelly and doing the luge may be the most extreme sport I do. Excuse me while I scream...
