Kinda like that Richard Prior saying, "Fire is a great motivator...
cause when you're on fire, you're motivated to put it out!"

For sure.

I'm always amazed at what adrenaline can do. A recent example: I was
wrestling with my 13 year old son, not long ago, when he accidentally hit me
in, shall we politely say, the "nether" parts.

We were pretty riled up already, really going at it, and -- since we've both
been lifting weights together now every day for the last five months --
we're both in pretty good shape. In my moment of agony and despair, I
grabbed him with one hand by the shoulder, and THREW him completely across
the room.

Now this kid is no lightweight -- he wrestles in the 150 pound class.
Luckily he landed on his head, where no harm could come to him...

Afterward, over a cold pop, both he and I were amazed that this was
physically possible. Under normal circumstances, that move would have put
ME in traction...
