Jason was out on the deck, grilling hamburgers. He watched as Josh tied a jump rope to the deck rail and then to his waist. It was when Josh began to climb up onto the railing that Jason intervened...
Jason: Josh, what are you doing?
Josh: I am going to jump off the deck.
Jason: No. You aren't.
Josh: Why, will I die?
Jason: Probably not, but you could break your arm or leg.
Josh: I can live with that.
