A hairdresser found out that I was utterly terrified of thunderstorms and whispered a warning to my mom, that I heard and have not forgotten until this day... "my grandmother's best friend's great aunt's cousin (twice removed)... her grandson's wife's mom was struck by lightning while sitting on a toilet one night... she's fine, but the toilet split in two... the reason she didn't die is because the safest orphus to get struck by lightning is your anal orphus..."
To this day, I refuse to use the restroom during a thunderstorm...
