There are actual events by sailors turned into resolutions by the Navy. I added myself as number 11. How about you?

1. I won't ride an ATV up a so-called "hill" that is so steep that the ATV rolls over backward and lands on my leg.
2. I won't try to open a can with a pocket knife and open my hand instead.
3. I won't ride a bicycle down a pitch dark flightline with a flashlight mounted on the handlebars for illumination.
4. I won't buy a dirt bike, ride it for two weeks, and then go to a motocross track and listen to my buddies when they tell me to go faster.
5. I won't try to remove a broken light bulb from a live outlet using a pair of pliers.
6. I won't try to relax by making a large, propane-fueled, two-barrel potato gun.
7. I won't assume that a pistol I'm cleaning is unloaded and then check by aiming it at my hand and pulling the trigger.
8. I won't go camping and drink so many beers that I take a header into the campfire.
9. I won't drop a 300-pound log on my foot while looking for seashells.
10. I won't take off my hardhat because I keep hitting it on an overhead beam, and then cut my forehead on an overhead sprinkler.
11. I won't climb up and jump off of those 2 foot diameter decorative red concrete balls in front of Targets on a whim and hurt my back.

I have a strange feeling if I really cut loose no one here would ever talk or respond to me ever...again... at all.
It's ghastly stuff. Ahh memories.

Not to run outside to beat the Garbage truck coming up the street in my boxer shorts, only to lock myself out while my neighbors are driving by to go to work and have to run down the street to my sisters to get a key to get in.
Oh and especially when it is in the low 40's out. (You kinda look silly)

Gosh, I was going to make a short list of life improvements like exercising more and eating better, but you guys have much more fun and interesting suggestions.
Please, do go on.

Yes, Guy. I am ashamed to say....yes.

#12 I won't bet a buddy $10 that I can swim 100 yards upstream on the Basto River when the water is 40 degrees and then freeze so bad I can't take a breath.

Yea, we were waiting for you to sink :D

Number 13 is don't turn your head sideways and walk in the woods.:bang:
