10 Stupid Things to Do Before You Die

4. Get Stuck!

Properly stuck! It really doesn€™t matter where you get stuck as long as it€™s not life threatening. You can lock yourself between two doors that both open from the outside. You can get your toe stuck in the coffee table you put your feet up on. Or maybe get your hand stuck in the hole (that really shouldn€™t be) at the bottom of the cup holders in a cinema. Wherever and in whatever you get stuck you€™ll experience that cold panic wash down your neck and back like a shower of impending shame, and then, the muscle relaxing endorphins that thaw your frozen limbs when they€™ve been released from their unexpected captivity. Unlike the other tick boxes in this compendium of dumb, getting stuck should not really be attempted. Not that it€™s particularly more stupid than the rest, just that the physical and emotional results will be somewhat scuppered by realising it€™s going to happen! The best thing you can do is not to try and make it happen but to accept that it has to happen to you at least once in order to lead a full adult life.

A. J. S. Scott was created as a homunculus by a mad English Alchemist who was trying to make rum from ink and seawater. He is still a fan of both and he has no comment on what happened to all the ‘No Exit’ signs in Islington Underground Station when he visited for Beltaine. You can send him missives by bribing the Right Raven with sour-strings, or: Instagram: @ajsscott Tumblr: andrew-scott-things.tumblr.com
