You agree because your life is rather mundane and boring.

When you get to the first place, you find out it is getting into the "cage of death" where you swim with hungry salt-water crocodiles. You say to yourself "What have I gotten myself into?"

You say to yourself "What have I gotten myself into?"

When you get to the third place, you freak out. It is the"world’s most elite skydiving adventure" which allows adventurers to jump from 29,500 feet, higher than Mt.Everest summit. You say to yourself "What have I gotten myself into?"

When you get to the fourth place, where you are chased by a herd of very angry bulls, you say to yourself.....
