A lot of news shows like to showcase what we fondly call "adventure vacations", where people get some restorative benefit by risking their lives involved in dangerous activities. Today on Weeked Today I saw a story about a company that sells week long vacations where you "swim with sharks". In good journalistic style they tempered the positive aspects of this activity by reporting about a guy who bled to death after being bit. Personally, driving to work everyday is dangerous enough for me.There are any number of other adventure vacations people can have that involve some verb performed with some noun. A short list might be climbing with Sherpas or hiking with snow shoes or skydiving with instructor or jumping with bungee or hunting with shotguns (Dick Cheney). This year I've decided to take adventure vacation. I think I'll run with scissors.

I think Sleeping with the Enemey sounds better?
I think you'll find that running with scissors kills far more people every year than swimming with sharks does.
I hike with snowshoes, and believe me, I'm safer than you are with your sharp blades in hand!
