....and why 17 is such a superior age.
It's a world of danger, excitement and intrigue for the average Joe. But for the 18 year old Joe (not his real name) it's especially dangerous.
*In 3004 B.C. an 18 year old stepped outside his house one morning and was suddenly swept away by a flash flood.
*In 1349 B.C. an 18 year old boy named Ping walked to the pond to get water and, gazing at his stunning haircut in the silky surface of that same alleged pond, tripped on a pebble and fell in.
*In 437 B.C. an 18 year old named Samuel was sitting at his breakfast table and choked on a marshmallow bit. (He survived and thus the name Lucky Charms (TM) was born)
*In 672 A.D. an 18 year old greeted his friend with a loud voice early in the morning and caused an avalanche.
*In 1263 A.D. an 18 year old named Alfred skulked around a corner and a snapping turtle who was patrolling the streets sent him to the penitentiary for hard labor until he turned 19.
*In 1772 A.D. an 18 year old named Horatio went to sea and during the consumption of green olives a shark vaulted onto the deck and scarfed him down (and the olive. how sad.)
*And in 2005 A.D. well, we've yet to see what the most horrocious event will be... but it could happen any day... any moment... BEWARE!!!!!!!! (in a whispery voice)

Posted by: Asirrac at February 25, 2005 05:48 PMI knew someone who was 18.
Posted by: cj at March 2, 2005 04:52 PMThere is a opposing and greater good for every evil mentioned in this post.
Posted by: cj 2 at March 2, 2005 04:53 PMWhat happened to all the ppl who were 18 the other 2,998 years?
Um... they all died tragic deaths. We don't encourage violence so we omitted their fates from this post.
Posted by: Ybba at March 2, 2005 04:56 PMOh, and you were wondering who WE are? Um, we are too. We just know we aren't 18.... yet.
Posted by: Ybba at March 2, 2005 04:57 PMBut you shall be...mwahahaha...
Posted by: cj4 at March 2, 2005 04:59 PMAnd it is historically impossible that all(or even a significant percentage) of 18 year olds died while 18.
Posted by: cj 5 at March 2, 2005 04:59 PMOh. Well then my pet rat must've been mistaken in his statistics. Oops!

Posted by: cj 6 at March 2, 2005 05:02 PMhaha! That's gross dahling. And David is not gross. He is quite couth in fact!
Posted by: Ybba at March 2, 2005 05:03 PMsure.. makes you sound slightly more couth yourself!
Posted by: Ybba at March 2, 2005 05:09 PMIt's alright to be 18 for one year. I'd start getting worried though if you kept it up longer. Good luck surviving the dangers, although nothing untoward has struck me yet. ;)
