And, yep, I tend to be lucky, I suppose... at least when there's a possibility I could die, I've survived every darned time so far. Ok, the Ann show is over... back to someone else taking a guess.

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Labuda is correct. Oddly enough, the false thing of those three is the Jolly Rancher. Happy to explain if anyone is interested. Ann, you're up!
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter I was a vocational evaluator in a sheltered workshop at the time. One of the clients was a developmentally delayed and also mentally ill man.

The client, we'll call him Charlie (not his name), grabbed my necklace, which was beads strung on a chain, and began twisting it as he kept yelling at me, "Why aren't I employee of the month this month?!" over and over. I managed to get my hand up between the necklace and my neck, but he was still able to twist it tight enough to choke me. Fortunately one of the male case workers came in just then, saw what was happening, and pried Charlie's hands off me.
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter LOL! That one is just as weird if not weirder. It was high school, and our theatre group was putting on the play, "Dracula." There's a scene in the play where a character frightens another character (mine) with a live mouse. The boy playing the role happened to own a boa constrictor that was nearly six feet long, so he suggested using Kaa instead of a mouse. The director thought that was a fabulous idea and okayed it. So one day for one of the final rehearsals, the snake was there. We were taking a break, and the snake's owner talked me into letting him drape Kaa on me. . . a couple of loops on one shoulder, middle of his body behind my neck, the rest of him on my other shoulder. Something evidently frightened or upset Kaa, and he instantly constricted on my neck. I tried to loosen him but had zero success. Large constricting snakes are unbelievably strong. So I began waving my hands and trying to gasp for help from others, who, of course, thought I was joking. After a very unpleasant minute or two, they finally figured out that he was really choking me. It took four people to pull Kaa off of me. And I will never drape a giant snake around my shoulders (or any other parts of my body) ever again. To this day, I'm not real fond of snakes.

Originally Posted By csgoofygirl True. I did not faint at my wedding, but actually did barf at my school play and had a baby just 15 minutes after arriving at the hospital. You're up!
