Weak Spot

A colleague recently wondered how my risk-taking manifests itself.  He said I seemed like someone who would bungee jump, or sky dive, or hang glide. 

I started to respond with “Yes, I jump off of cliffs into rivers and from rocks into underground caves,” when he again asked, “Do you hang glide?”

I was forced to admit my Achilles’ Heel.  “I get horribly motion sick.  The one time I wanted to go, the curvy drive to the top of the mountain would’ve killed me.”

There you have it, I would be more daring, if only the earth stopped moving.  Anyone else care to admit to a hidden weakness?
