Angry Bob was angry.

So he went to see a life coach.
"You worry too much," said the life coach, "And you lead a sedentary life. You need to travel, seek adventure, seize the day."
So Angry Bob booked a trip to New Zealand.

There he hiked volcanos, surfed waves, and decided to overcome his fear of bungee jumping.
"Fear is stupid," he shouted from atop a high bridge as the bungee instructor attached the bungee cord to his leg.
"From now on, I’m going to live a new life! One where I seize the day!!" Angry Bob shouted as he jumped from the bridge...
...before the startled instructor could finish securing Bob's cord.
Bob’s new life lasted four seconds.
NEVER SEIZE THE DAY.
I WILL SIT ON MY COUCH FOR LIFE!!
