Stuntman

It's a wrap! Today officially marks my closing day as a paid stuntman on one episode of the show "Deadliest Warrior" (season 2). I'm not kidding. During stunt rehearsal, I got shot, wacked with the back of an AK47, strangled with the same weapon, kneed in the ribs, thrown to the ground judo style, stabbed, and elbowed in the face to the ground (trying to defend my wife).
Note that I never asked for it. But I was polite and took it very nicely.
Unfortunately, only the elbow to the face will -maybe- show on TV.
Meanwhile, I still got to punch and kill a pirate by slamming his head multiple times into a wall and shoot him with his own weapon.
See, people, we don't need video games to have fun....
