I forgot to ask him how many lives he thought he had left.

I recently met a guy who has climbed Everest, been crushed by an iceberg (eight broken ribs, a broken sternum and a ten hour helicopter flight) AND been in a helicopter crash.

I should also point out that none of these incidences were related, except for the fact he was the common denominator.

I guess that pretty much rules out all possibility of him ever winning Lotto.

But some might say the fact that he's still alive...

Wow. I can't decide if it really sucks to be him or if his luck is like, totally awesome.

You mean he's won life's lottery?

I think he would argue that his life is totally awesome. He strikes me as the type of guy who has many many more adventures in store, Janie.

You do say he's climbed Everest, not that he got two feet from the top slipped and slid all the way to the bottom, so his luck's not all bad, maybe he should do the Lotto.

Though he'd probably drop the big cheque on his foot.

Hm, you're right. Paper cut. Yowch.
