Hey so I had a quick thought today while enjoying a delicious snack-size (about 3″) Slim Jim (delicious).

That term that most people use “dodge the bullet” – as in “Man, I really dodged a bullet there” in reference to not participating in an activity or what-have-you that ended badly.

As we’ve seen, unless you’re in the matrix, and you have some computer-”agent” shooting bullets at you, it’s gotta be pretty hard to dodge a bullet. I mean unless it’s point blank.

Seriously – shouldn’t the saying be something more like “dodged the bullet TRAIN” – I mean come ON! If you’re on the tracks and the bullet train is coming – you’re screwed, and if you dodged that thing – than you REALLY DID get out of something big.
