do as i say, not as i do

this quote comes from the roadbikereview general forum

"If the ice is in a turn, there's no way you are going to survive. If you see it coming with enough time, stop and walk. If you don't see it in time, the only advice I can give here is that if you slide off a cliff and have a long way to fall, a funny thing to do is to pretend you are swimming. People down below will be laughing their heads off, until your body crashes into the rocks below."

even though i almost drowned as a little kid, i still find the idea of "swimming to your death" unbearably funny.

*sigh*
