I had a near death experience that has changed me forever.  The other day,
I went horseback riding.  Everything was going fine until the horse starts
bouncing out of control.  I tried with all my might to hang on, but was
thrown off.  Just when things could not possibly get worse, my foot gets
caught in the stirrup.  When this happened, I fell head first to the
ground.  My head continued to bounce harder as the horse did not stop or
even slow down.  Just as I was giving up hope and losing consciousness, the
Walmart manager came and unplugged it.  Thank goodness for heros.
