    Well, as I mentioned, I ran from the bulls. Why did I do it? For several reasons. First of all, I was young -- twenty years old -- and had a bit of a reputation as the guy who would take any risk. At twenty, it can be hard to face the guys you work in a dangerous job with, and say, "No, thanks, that's too dangerous for me."

    Secondly, there's that Mark Twain quote that someone here has in their signature line -- something about how, in twenty years, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did do.

    And third -- why not? You only live once. Might as well have some stories to tell from the living of it. Here was a story I was going to be able to tell back home, to people who'd never even thought of doing it themselves.

    So, do I have sympathy for the guy who got bulldozed? Yes. Do I admit he got himself into it, and knew the risks when he did? Yes. But man... what a story this guy's going to have to tell. And unlike me, he's got photographic evidence, seen by the whole world!

    Well when people say your full of bull, he can whip out his Photo and prove them right.:butt:
    I think it's the red driving cap that got the bull's attention.
