Fool Proof

“Well there’s just one thing left on the list!”

“The list of things to do before you die? But you’re like, thirty!”

“Thirty-one but still that ain’t too bad is it? Haha!” The delighted gentleman pulls out a map of the world and points to a spot in Germany. His friend looks confused but this only broadens his grin. “I’m going to skydive over a minefield.”

“What?!”

“Yeah!”

“Are you insane?!”

“Ah come on! I haven’t teased Death yet! Gotta give it a go!” Nobody says a word for a minute.

“No way. There’s got to be something else you haven’t done.”

“You can look all you want but I’ve ticked them all! Even the dirty ones.” With a wink the charismatic gentleman walks around the table to his companion and sits right next to them. “Listen, don’t worry. I’ll get professionals to train me up and everything. I’ll even let you sort that out if you want?”

“Just don’t die! I don’t want Little Miss Dumpty growing up without her Daddy.”

“And she won’t! I promise.” Mr. Dumpty smiles and hugs his wife.
