sharing is caring + 19. welcome to statistically stupid,
"if this gets me killed, i’m having penelope change the name in your file to ratthew simmons.” she’s only partially kidding - if she’d actually asked penelope to do it, she’s almost certain that the woman would. she has penelope’s complete and total loyalty.
it’s not that she’s scared of motorcycles. there are plenty of things she is scared of - roadside motels, eating during search and rescue, her cat when he gets a certain look in his eyes - but motorcycles are not one of them. look, she’ll even agree! they’re sexy, it’s a whole thing. she has gone bright red more than once watching a woman in an action movie take off a helmet and whip her hair around.
she has survived a lot. a lot. things that people, in general, don’t survive. statistically, getting kidnapped and impaled is not something you survive. getting kidnapped more than once usually isn’t something you survive. she has climbed out of overturned motor vehicles with a broken rib and a concussion.
she’s been very lucky, statistically. and she’s not superstitious, but there’s gonna be one that gets her eventually.
is it going to be motorcycles? maybe not. but still -
none of that changes the fact that she’s currently strapping on a motorcycle helmet while complaining to matt.
“no offense to you and this whole thing, but i thought if i ever compromised my no motorcycles rule, it would be with katee sackhoff. or angelina jolie.”
