Nothing is ever too much, Gaugie. If you knew me, you'd know that. If the mind can conceive it, I will try it. Back when my husband still loved me, we went to see "The Deep." William Hurt and Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio (sp?) played husband and wife, who are oceanographers in a cold ocean, Antarctica, I think, and somehow they are stuck in a wreck without enough diving masks. Mary Elizabeth decides to try to take advantage of the human diving reflex, you can survive if you "drown" in very cold water, she goes out into the icy water and breathes it in, and then her husband uses the one mask and takes them to the ship, and then revives her. It doesn't go well, and he starts cursing her, demanding that she breathe. Which she does. My husband turned to me, and said that he believed that in similar circumstances, I would/could do the same. Which was terribly flattering, but I hope I never have to see if he is right.
