Irrational(?) fears

Mad props to John "Wildcard" Creagar for this one. Irrational fears is an amazing subject matter. I think identifying them is the first step in a long complicated process that ends in us still being completely and hopelessly terrified of them. They are irrational after all aren't they.

Anyway I will be the first to admit that I am frightened of many things, however when I stop and really think about it I feel that none of them are completely "irrational." For instance although it may be improbable that (1) i would be stuck on a long road trip with nothing but a Nickleback CD, it is not irrational.
Other irrational(?) fears include:
(2) Zombie invasions. Improbable . . . maybe, unfounded definitely not. Do you have a plan of action? If you don't you might as well start eating tasty brains right now. I have a fireman's axe named "the hunter" right at the head of my bed for just such an occasion. Later blog topic "is decapitating a zombie a sin?"
(3) Clowns. What the HELL is wrong with those people?!
(4) Worms. Okay maybe this is a little irrational but they are so gross and I am not to proud to say it. Do you know that all of a worm's reproductive cycles take place on the outside. The last thing I want is a worm std. I will not touch a worm; ask anyone who has been fishing with me.
(5) Cabbage Patch Dolls. Alright Wildcard you win this round. [Irrational]
(6) Inhaling some poisonous gas and having to stab myself in the heart with one of those HUGE NEEDLES. I think I'll choose death's sweet release before I insert that turkey baster into my atrium.

That's all I can think of now. Hasta pasta

This made me laugh. If we ever go fishing, not likely, I'll bait your hook, k.
