I read an article on this one, and it's true. Men are more likely to work outdoors and play golf in lightning storms.
Another little known fact, people that have been struck by lightning have a yearly convention (like we tanners do.) This last year, during the convention, the area was struck with serious thunder/lightning storms.

That would suck, it would be like flashbacks from war. All the people with the "skunk hair do's" dropping to the floor...it's sad but still funny

I live in the country so that really sucks for me, and I have a log house so they crawl in fairly easy... So I try to keep my mouth closed when sleeping, but I'm a drooler so it opens sometime. I just don't like to think about it...
