#crawled from the street dragging my bike behind me before hyperventilating at the sidewalk

[janeeyreofmanderley]

I was about to make fun of Sharpe going "Hm, I feel weird after being hit by a bullet and now suffering massive bloodloss while still running and fighting, I guess the bullet must have been poisoned. Yes that is a reasonable explanation" before fainting.

However, then I remembered that my last thought before collapsing in the middle of a road from a side effect of a vaccination was "Oh how interesting! I am loosing my vision! Dots dancing before my eyes! This is just how Daphne DuMaurier described a fainting fit" before I promptly keeled over, becoming a considerable traffic obstacle.

So I guess that proves that people about to faint are not at their most intelligent and also that I lost all mocking rights on this subject for eternity.
