I was a half block shy of being bisected by a runaway bulldozer once. I always point out the chipped brick wall when I walk by it with people.
It's funny, my first thought wasn't "Wow if I'd been walking a little bit faster, I'd either be dead or very seriously hurting", it was "huh, someone just lost several hundred dollars in two seconds."

Heh. And it's still in the window! Because I only think to take it out when it's raining, and then I want to give it a day or two to dry out, and then I forget again.

A few months ago I was about 15 feet from being clobbered by a tree branch. And, um... once I was attacked by an angry heifer....
eta: Huh. Googling "angry heifer" comes up with 53 matches. So there are others who've shared my experience....
A heifer once bit my sister.
An aardvark bit my brother.
I'm sorry, I just can't pass up and opportunity to share that. I mean, c'mon. An
aardvark?
The odds, they are slight. And yet with my brother, anything is possible.

Probably would work best if you're a short woman.
Can you sue a witch if her spells don't work? Apparantly....
BERLIN - A German woman won a lawsuit against a “love witch” who failed to induce her ex-boyfriend to come back with rituals under the full moon designed to cast a spell over him, a Munich court said Monday.
“The witch lost,” said Munich district court spokeswoman Ingrid Kaps. The ‘love witch’ was ordered to return her 1,000 euro ($1,300) fee and pay “several hundred euros” in costs.
“The plaintiff was in despair after her boyfriend left and tried to get him to return with help from a woman who calls herself a ‘love witch’,” she added. “The court has ruled it was a service that was ‘objectively impossible’ to render.”

I mean, c'mon. An aardvark?
I had to Google that up in order to find out what that is. Its Hebrew name translates back as "ants bear".
