Insurance Company Finds Britons Have Five Lives
A mortality report carried out by More Than Life Insurance has found that the average Brit cheats death an average of five times during their lifetime.
According to the study, the top near-death experiences were bad car collisions, lightning strikes, electrocution, and natural disasters.
All of those sound dangerous and all, but we firmly believe that Britons have more than five lives--a lot more.
Consider this: The average British breakfast consists of scones, buttered toast, buttered crumpets, porridge, a pound of bacon, baked beans, four to ten links each of black pudding (blood sausage) and white pudding (pork sausage), a dozen fried eggs, and a gallon of Earl Grey tea with heavy cream and sugar. Britons love their breakfast so much that the famed British author Somerset Maugham proclaimed that "the only way to eat well in England is to have breakfast three times a day."
If you're consuming that plate o' heart attack three times a day, you're cheating death three times a day. Also, drunkenly stumbling home from the pub every night is a near-death experience.
So that's four lives that the average Briton uses up every day. Over the course of a year, the number rises to 1,460 lives. Lastly, the life expectancy of a Brit is 78.9 years (we're rounding it up to 79), bringing the total number of lives per Brit to a whopping 115,340! That's a lot of lives! Imagine how much longer you would live if you just stopped drinking and ate a sensible breakfast every day.
YES, I WOULD LIKE TO SIGN THE PETITION AND GET PAID!
