Default Things you think about when you are stuck

Well I don't know about this, but when I'm stuck waiting for some help or just while I'm getting myself unstuck. I think about about some random stuck... What do all y'all think about?

Normally it's

"**** GOD DAMN IT ****** ****!"


Normally my adrenaline gets going and I'll start kind of shaking because I'm nervous about something lol.

It goes something like this. 'Wow! I'm really stuck. OMG! I'LL NEVER GET OUT OF HERE! I'M GOING TO HAVE TO EAT SQUIRRELS AND BUGS AND PINE CONES! Do I cook the squirrel or just peel it and eat, like sushi? OMG! I'M GOING TO FREEZE WHEN IT GETS DARK! WHAT WILL I USE FOR WARMTH. Maybe I can make a squirrel vest or curl inside the carcass of a freshly killed deer like I read in a book, once. OMG! HOW AM I EVER GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS!' It is inevitable that, at this point, the light turns green and everything is okay... until the next intersection.

Laugh it off and reach for the tow strap. The person I'm wheeling with sees me grab the tow strap and starts moving to help out.

This is why you don't wheel alone

What MacGyverism can I come up with for this situation...

I've only been stuck twice before. Once in my old pickup, once in my trailblazer. The obvious answer, had I had my jeep I would've never gotten stuck in the first place. Not so obvious answer, had I had four wheel drive I never would've gotten stuck in the first place.

Last time was in a river for 13 hours in the middle of nowhere by myself. Left the jeep running and slept by a fire. Woke up every hour to make sure it was still running. Hiked out 13 miles to a ranch and got pulled out by a tractor. Wolves howling. Bears romping around. I was thinking alot of things.

Fairy Tails and Jeeper stories start out a bit different. Fairy Tales start out with "Once upon a time" and Jeeper stories start out with "You won't believe this #$!@." My wife is tired of hearing Jeeper stories.
