I can think of several things worse than turning 25. Among them:
- Being gored by a bull in Pamplona
- Losing millions in the stock market and selling
- Slipping and shattering your bones on an expensive marble floor
- Having hot coffee thrown in your face by a crazy person
- Getting run over by a garbage truck
- Falling off a rock climbing wall and breaking your ankle. Twice.
- Being bitten by a lethal spider and spending two weeks in the ICU
- Having a 500 lb. steel girder fall on your index finger
- Totaling your car. Twice.
- Being swindled out of your money by a family member
- Having a nervous breakdown
- Turning 26
I’d say I’m doing alright overall, what with my car insurance rates dropping and everything. Besides, everyone knows you aren’t really old until you’re 30.


Har, will be 26 in 4 days!
