This thread was inspired by the following Front Page blog.
Buffalo heads for a funeral bed..

Sophie and Dale, you must have nerves of steel. I would probably have fainted with shock if I was at that ceremony.

One time for a biology class I had to disect a dead pigeon. I accidentally rupured an artery and was about to faint at the sight of the blood oozing out of it. A teacher led me outside and then led me back inside again, when I recovered. As soon as I looked at the pigeon and blood, I immediately started to faint again, so was taken outside for the rest of the class with somebody hovering around giving me tea to perk me up.

Here is another that would send me to crouch in a corner with my hands over my ears and my eyes shut tightly.

The story today is about the most intense experience I had in this trip, and I find it hard to believe that anything will conquer that title from it.

I did color commentary in English on Thai Kick boxing events on Koh Toa Thailand.

then again I was invited to Korean dance festival on a Khmer Navel base and with my at the time Spanish Girlfriend we were the only two non Asians at this huge event with all sorts of diplomats and military officers. Reply to this
