True skill in hurting others requires endless practice at hurting oneself.
Wouldn't it suck if you choked to death because you didn't take a breath before you took a bite, and there wasn't enough air in your lungs for a good heimlich?

If i had a time machine, i'd go to 1953, abduct elizabeth taylor (eight marriages), go to 1378, abduct Henry VIII (six marriages), bring them back to the present and strand them on a desert island. Now THAT'S a reality TV show.
