Two very lucky things come to mind:

- The condom broke. No baby PGs came from that. I was so scared. I never told my partner but if she were pregnant I would 'throw her down the stairs'. (What I would actually do is more sinister, doesn't involve coat hangers or anything deranged like that, but wouldn't be worth telling)

- I was late driving Chemical to work one day. Driving down the street I accelerated to pass traffic and apparently went 40 over the speed limit. This would have translated to me losing all of my (US equivalent of) 'demerit points', completely messing up my car insurance, and Chemical would not be able to drive my car ever again.

Instead, what happened was that I never updated my driver license address. So the police officer, in an act of complete pity, gave me a ticket for THAT instead. I'd gladly pay money to avoid the consequences of what I outlined above.

Those 5-10 minutes were the longest ones I have experienced in a long while.
