Default What are the Odds

Odds of shooting a pope & young buck in MI 1 in 5166

Odds of a tree falling on you 1 in 100,000,000

Guess which one happen to me tonight[&:]

After walking by a dead tree I though I heard something. I turn a bit and by pack bumped the tree. The tree the started to full, my normal panther like reflexes were shaken a bit. As I was just plain stunned as whatwas happing. About half way up the tree snapped and the top half took me out like one of BigJ71 guns. After laying on the ground for 5 mins and bleeding from the head, I did a check of the systems. I was ok, I managed to throw by bow to the side and it came away un-harmed.

I have bump on my head, and I swear I heard some racoons laughing at me

What the crap? If you can have a tree fall on you, then I think that means you should have shot 19357, P&Y bucks by now.

In theory of course....[8D]
