There is a true
story of the two friends who went fishing in a boat on a lake several years
ago. As the afternoon progressed, some dark clouds appeared on the horizon and
were making their way in. There were occasional flashes of lightning. One of
the gentlemen wanted to head back to shore, but the other one is reportedly to
have stood up in the boat and yelled “Come and get me!” He had just finished saying
this when a bolt of lightning hit him and killed him. The friend was shaken but
not seriously hurt. Startling coincidence, or was he tempting fate?
