...I got a nasty paper cut playing 'War' with my father when I was about 6. It was a bleeder.

Technically, the victim wasn't playing but it happened during two simultaneous games of Bridge.

I once heard that more people die playing tennis and golf than any other sports. (Heart attacks, or so I've been told.)

I wondered how many of them died of boredom, at least as a contributing factor.
