They've only succeeded in further lengthening the range for which I am willing to drive instead of fly.
I was thinking of taking a dive myself. The problem is that it hasn't happened to me for real in a very long time. I don't recall ever taking a complete dive but I remember doubling over and walking in circles while being completely debilitated for a few minutes. You wouldn't have the sweating and red face if you were faking it. As crazy as it sounds, I really need to practice the reaction and how to make it look real. At least initially, it shouldn't be too hard to win an Oscar in front of a swarm of people suffering from "cognitive burden."
