I have been in a vehicle that was struck by lighting while driving down the highway. Fried the electrical system instantly and the car was inoperable. None of us passengers were hurt. Also was hit on a flight into Bogota. Things when dark for a millisecond and the plane just kept on operating.

I am a god damn magnet for lightning.

First occurrence, my buddy being struck by lightning in a little league game while pitching. He survived. I was in right field. Coach was trying to hide me out there.

2nd occurrence? 1991 - walking from McMahon down to U-village QFC in a thunderstorm down the dirt path by the particle accelerator. Did not get hit directly but watched electricity go from my hand to the shaft of the umbrella. It was like a slow motion weird thing. Instinctively, I ducked and ran in a tight circle yelling "Jesus Fucking Christ" over and over. The physics dudes came out to help me and see if I was already.

The walk was an important walk as I was going down to QFC to buy condoms. I completed the task.

After that, I've had numerous incidents. Planes struck multiple times, a bolt hitting the water in a lagoon about 100' from me as I waited to get in a kayak in St. Kitts.

That damn cal game almost gave me a heart attack. @Rapeculturedawg's wife was giving me shit calling me a pussy for cowering in the corner.

Now I play a lot of golf. That's probably where the bolt will finally do me in.
