Aye, but I've come close to being struck by lightning before...
Cheating on exams?

Big nay for women mud wrestling. Not my bag, baby. Sumo is hilarious, though. It is one of those things which is intrinsically funny. My only complaint is that the bouts don't last very long. In theory, it's supposed to be a fast moving sport for quick gambling.
