Cody vs Natural Selection

This morning while I was still sleeping the fire alarm in our house went off. Not just the smoke detector, the giant alarm that rattles the entire house. Naturally my first reaction was to be annoyed that it woke me up.

I imagine most people would jump out of bed and figure out where the fire was then vacate the building in a neat and orderly fashion.

My reaction however, was to roll over and look outside to decide that if it came down to it I could jump out my second story window and most likely survive, then fell back asleep.

Thankfully I woke up a few hours later to find that the house had not burned down and that my beard was in no way charred. Phew.

So I learned that in any sort of emergency or epidemic I am certainly going to die if it happens while I am sleeping.
