Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

Now that was a bath...
Now, don't cry EnduranceMan. It would be wasted emotion
When I was homeless and sleeping on the streets years ago (I was 16), I was starving and walking through a market with my boyfriend. There on the ground in front of us we found a five pound note. It was enough to buy us dinner so we were very happy. Just as we were leaving the market we found another on the ground. I couldn't believe it. Two finds of money immediately after each other. What made this incredible however is whilst walking to the beer shop to buy a celebratory round, the man in front of us dropped 240 pounds on the ground from a rolled up newspaper. I was in complete shock. I will never forget picking up that money and running to the toilets to count it. It remains one of the most amazing coincidences of my life. Amusingly later that day we were walking past a rubbish dump and placed strategically on top of a large heap of trash was a suitcase. Not discarded like the other rubbish - but stood up and waiting. Robert looked at me - I looked at Robert and we both ran to the suitcase, fully expecting it to be completely stuffed with cash. It was empty. The two hundred and fifty pounds however bought us food and happiness for a few days. Now, don't cry EnduranceMan. It would be wasted emotion
