    - The odds of being killed by a bolt of lightning are the same as the odds of dying falling out of bed

    - Odds that you will be killed by a plane falling out of the sky...1 in 25 million. Odds it happens today. 1 in 7 trillion

    - You are more likely to be struck by lightning than to be eaten by a shark

    - You have a 1 in 3,333 chance of being drafted into the NBA

    - You have 1 in 10,000 odds of being injured by a toilet

    I have a friend who periodically wouldn't go to sporting events because she was convinced there would be a terrorist attack. Yet she insisted on driving rather than take BART despite the people who drink their way through games and then get on the road.

    That's great! I thought at my age it would be much, much closer to zero.

    I had a damned fight with my toilet because it wouldn't flush fast enough and the damned toilet beat the living crap out of me. Now, I have to give the toilet a bow before sitting down.
