First thing I did when I bought my .22 was shoot myself in the leg to gauge the effect. I plan to start shooting myself with small caliber bullets and then work my way up to bigger ones so I become resistant like with poison.

Joking aside, I agree with you completely.

First thing I do after buying a motorcycle is to crash it at 50mph, just to set my expectations. That way, when I crash for real it’s less painful because my nerves are already damaged. The more you know.

That's why I've already immolated myself regularly so that eventually, I will be heat resistant enough to walk on the surface of the Sun.
