Os – The fact that you were ready to volunteer (just because we do that in Tennessee!) is a very attractive quality! Go Vols!

Mushy – Thanks a lot for giving me some hope! As for the protective wrapper, you do have a point!

Mr. Fab – I think swimming is one “experiment” you should steer clear of. I saw how the last experiment turned out! *LOL*

Melissa – How right you are!

Bush – Learn to swim? Ha! Winning the lottery would be more likely! Speaking of that, got some numbers for me to play?

Bucky – Make it a six pack of Mike’s Hard Lemonade and I’ll forget all about the tan!

Flat Coke – That’s what I’m hoping for!

Barry – Have you been browsing the selection for me?

Michael – I’ve seen a little tool you can buy that will break your windows from underwater. There I go talking about tools again…

Dan – That’s a scary thought. And as for dying quickly, you hear coroners say that someone “died instantly”. I can’t believe that anyone could die instantly. It seems to me that for a split second at least, you’d have to feel some pain!

Tom – Glad I could make you laugh! Thanks for stopping by!

Andrew – As I mentioned in one of the other comments, I once saw a little tool advertised on those late night infomercials. It was about the size of a tire guage, and you pressed a button and it popped out enough pressure to break your windows. Sounds easier than a hammer – if it works! And um, yeah, I don’t think blowing bubbles would help me!

Geneva – *LOL* I’ve heard that before. Funny! And yes, let’s definitely hope he’s joking!

And my wife recently freaked out after the Minneapolis bridge collapsed. (And she was real scared o’ bridges before!). So she’s all set to buy us one of those little hammers to stick in the glove compartment to smash open the window (not the front windshield, but the side ones) and swim out of. She also found a good tip… if you do crash and get yourself out of the car you’ll probably be really disoriented and not even know which way up is (depending on how deep the water is). So just relax and blow bubbles. The bubbles will always float up, so just follow them.

Of course in your case, you need to learn to swim first.

Recently, we had a car go off a 60 foot bridge right around where you enter the Appalachian Trail by the mega Cabelass and amazingly, the one guy survived the drop. Fortunately, the water wasn’t deep, but still.

That said, however I go – I just want it to be quick.

Then you can learn to float – you obviously have a long line of men ready to dive in and save you.
