I thought accidental death was factored into this. Or at least I expected it to be considering all the questions we had to answer concerning our involvement with firearms.
I just don't see how you could factor in getting hit by a truck.

I do think it's interesting that "Holding on too long" was factored in. Who defines "too long"?

Of course, most of you have a head start on me.

Looking back at this test, I think at least some of the questions are aimed toward that end advertising which amounts to an offer to run a personal ad for you. I mean, what difference in life span does it make if most people like you a lot or they don't? Or for that matter, if you hold in your farts? Or if you wear the same pair of pants for two weeks?

It's an indication of how you react to things, how you live your life, whether you stress out easily.

If people like you, you usually have higher self esteem and there probably isn't quite as much stress from relationships.

If you hold in your farts, you're probably concerned about what people think of you.

To the opposite of that, if you wear the same pair of pants for two weeks, you could probably give a $hit.

I should have been a pyschologist.

Then you'll only live until 2006!

My uncle is an actuary, and I've spent my life listening to the various things that play affect life span. I've NEVER heard of holding in farts as an issue!

Yea, but I hope it doesn't offend anyone. Oh, wait, Im the being offended expert here, aren't I?

Okay, as long as we're talking about offensive things, here's a 5th grade joke

What's invisible and smells like carrots?

Rabbit farts!

Not offensive, just cute the way you combined the notion of holding in farts with being an issue...issue, get it? Issue??? As in vented, extruded or otherwise released from a sealed vessel or container? HELLOOOO?? This thing on???

80 years old even for me. It is clear looking at some of your death ages that you clearly don't drink, eat and/or fart enough
