I used to think that when you were dead, they could give you a pill to make you alive again. My brother and I used to play "hospital", and if one of us "died", the other would administer an "alive pill".
This was before I saw The Princess Bride, so you can imagine how hard I was giggling at the Miracle Max scene!
