  1. You’re as likely to be hit by lightning as killed by a mentally ill person.

    I knew a guy who worked in a group home. He got hit with a bat behind the head by one of them. Spent 6 months in a coma and ended up with epilepsy. Yeah you might not be killed but you can still get sent to the hospital for a while.

  2. I knew you could do a tatoo with ashes, I had never thought about doing a tatoo with cremains, I’m not sure if that’s a great tribute or really creepy.
