If within 5 mins of medical attention -> gun
else -> shovel

A body can survive a lot, hell, we can replace practically every organ, but the brain is still unique (but who knows for how long)

Can I wear a helmet?


This is really tough decision...

I'd like to say .22 but I don't want to be shot in a vital organ and bleed to death in pain but full force shovel to the back of the head to me seems 100% certain death.

50 yards with a .22, it would feel like a pea shooter. By the time it goes the 150 feet it would be like spitting rice in my face.

Let a grown man try this, it's a lot different when four year old does it.

I can guarantee you if you let me hit you with a showel in the head, regardless of if you pass out...you would fall.

Also I am assuming this is getting with the face of the shovel.

Hitting with the edge of the shovel is much more effective.

you guessed correctly it was actually a girl that hit me in the head with the edge of the shovel actually at full grown up "girl" force it did hurt a lot, and tons of blood and i am sure the force was any normal strength person, of course someone who's 6'4 300 lbs is going to give a lot more hurting.....

i am doubting she was truly hitting you with her full force intending to kill or she missed.

Or how about taking a drink from a bottle when suddenly someone smacks it right into your teeth?

Women can do anything. Of course, this excludes driving.

Oh and what the hell? Who are you? There are no women on the internet. :|

There is so. I've seen pictures of them.

so the stories are true! I always thought they were only scary stories my Dad used to read to me to get me to go to bed.

Dad: "So, son, the moral of the story is, lookout, because there's always a woman hiding in your closet."
