I asked this of a friend while hiking the other day in jest, but who knows? I joked that I probably wouldn’t have a lot of time, and given I would probably be in shock… the best I could get out might be, “Well, fuck.”

How about you?

    nice thing i always remember in the fd: if it’s going to kill you, you’d be dead. (hazmat, fire, etc) So don’t worry and do what you’re there to do.

    in the case of OP, relaxing and dying is probably all i’d do. i have people “up there” waiting for me anyway. 🤷‍♀️

      I remember when I was in the Navy, I wasn’t paying attention once and stood up into a bundle of cables running along the overhead. Part of it sliced my scalp open and blood was pouring down my face. I stood there completely flabbergasted with my mind an utter and complete blank, and the only thing that came out of my mouth, completely unprompted, was “Shit in God’s beard!”

      No idea why. I had never said it before or ever since. Brains are weird.
