So I guess this must be a Pass/Fail course.

They wanted him to dig deep, push himself beyond his known limits, and make it to the cave on his own.

There seems to be a lot of these girly boys, lately, who have been so emasculated that they have to prove to themselves that they are still men. So, they spend vast amounts of money for "extreme sports" which sounds way better than to play "pretend."

This pantywaist died because he was too chickensh!t to make the sacrifice that a real man does. It's easy enough to do, but it would put a crimp in his social life. Just go to a place called P.I. I absolutely promise you'll be a different person, and it won't cost you $3,000.
