6 and 7 are from the book of Judges in the Bible; a bit older than medieval!

#1 looks like he was going in for a handshake and someone misinterpreted it and brained him.

"Fuck dude, I was just trying to say hi"

"Ah well you see, there's your mistake right there; instead of your hand you used your sword."

Kinda funky how many of them are just stabbed straight through the skull. That would be no easy feat. Anyway, #5. A solid axe swing.

6 looks like a migraine feels.

I helped a lady with a baby stroller up a flight of stairs today and did my back in. She thanked me and I limped home holding back tears.

So, 7 I think

Man, they really mostly took mortal injuries in stride

6, consistently, for 2 months

I’m usually 5. I have a lot of uncomfortable physical issues, but I’ve learned to find positives in life where they are, and just roll with things I have no control over.

Solid six - I've picked up something nasty and it's giving me a horrific headache!

  1. Keep getting stabbed but I got shit to do.

I think they are out of order. #s 4, 5 and 6, should definitely be higher. I think 7 is way too high. He's just dealing with a stomach wound... Sure..he's going to die a horrible death from sepsis in a few days BUT that's just an excuse for a milk of poppy bender. That's the face of a man ready to Par-tay!

Literally me.

3, in a fairly chipper mood today.
