This is a true story.
I once watched helplessly as Arnold Schwarznegger farted on a friend of mine.
As a kid I swam after a sea turtle–right into a school of barracuda.
Years later, on a tip from a drunken Greek fisherman, I went looking for a sunken temple. Nearly drowned. Never found it.
In an act of defiance–and questionable wisdom–I climbed Kilimanjaro in a snowstorm.
