Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They're made of meat.
I think that's been posted her before (surprise, surprise), but I for one am always happy to read it again. The first time had me laughing so hard I got all light-headed from lack of oxygen.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
If it's the one I remember, it kind of creeps me out a bit too.
I got the same as Sean, right down to the wrong answers.

I thought I was getting a little better. Sure, had the dry cough that usually trails a cold and makes it hard to keep anything down. But NOOOOO... There is a snotworm covered in sandpaper crawling around inside my face.
Allyson, may tomorrow be unshriftdaylike.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got 7/10. I think all the ones I missed were American.
Allyson, what sarameg said.

I got 8 out of ten: answered the questions about Crapper and mud-slinging wrong. Although the lake one I got right for the wrong reason, since I grew up in MA.

I'd only actually heard of 3 of those before I first ran across that quiz. So I got those right and the rest were guesses.

I was reading Hubby some of the near-death stories, and his answer to "what's the closest you've been death?" was "which time?" He's had his heart stop on him three times so far, plus so many near misses he's lost count. When I finally knew him well enough to see him without clothes, we'd play "What's that scar from?" "That one's from being sideswiped by a shark in Hawaii, I guess he got tired of me annoying him. That one's from a gang fight in LA. That's where I got shot, I don't remember where." Then there's the heart attacks. As he says, "It's almost like a game show, now, how many I can survive." He has personally raised the survivability average in our county.
Me? Ignoring infected mosquito bites until I keeled over in the hospital parking lot and a passing nurse looked at me and said, "ER. Now." Septicemia and congestive heart failure, whee.
