I have to qualify a couple of my answers:
Yes, I have two piercings, but they are my pierced ears. I wasn’t sure if “piercings” was limited to places like noses and belly buttons. 🙂
Yes, I’ve driven a manual transmission car, but only under protest. My husband used to love stick shift cars and insisted I take some driving lessons on one because one of our cars at that time was a stick shift. I took the lessons, promptly forgot all about it and have never driven a manual transmission car since then.
Like Randy, I guess I’ve led a somewhat sheltered life, but I am the first to admit I’m not adventurous, so you’ll never catch me bungee jumping or even in a helicopter for that matter!
Thank you, Randy, for a meme challenge this week. 🙂
But being in a helicopter was one of the most exciting things I did on the list!
That makes it adventurous to me! I’ve often said the only way I’d ever ride in a helicopter is because of a medical emergency and even then, they’d have to knock me out before putting me in it. 🙂
‘Watched someone die’? I mean, really? ‘Driven over 100 mph’? I hope it’s done in the the Salt Lake flats and not in my neighborhood, ( I think the ‘speeding ticket’ one automatically comes with that). ‘Stolen any traffic signs’ (sigh). Are these adults coming up with this stuff? Aren’t there a tad more meaningful things to do before kicking the bucket? Oh, I guess having someone watch you die.
I didn’t create the meme and agree that a few of the items could be replaced with others.
