Step No. 9 - As a passenger in a car stick your head out the window or sunroof and feel the wind in your hair (and teeth).

How many times did your parents tell you as a kid to pull your head back in the car window? Yeah, me too. The fear of having our beautiful face shredded or torn plain off by a low-hanging tree branch or some other traffic detritus was often a disincentive to actualise this desire.

But now that we're all grown up we know to avoid possible obstacles. When you find yourself in a car hurtling down the highway be brave, open the window and bear your visage to the rushing wind. Feel it ripple through your hair (or over bald scalp, as is my case) and catch bugs in your teeth. I wish I could say it is the thrill of a life time, but it is not. It will at least fuel a good chuckle for a few minutes. The level of gratification will be kicked up a notch if actualised in tandem with a second actualisation, or if escaping from the consequences of that additional actualisation.

Remember the SNL Deep Though/Fuzzy Memory where young Jack Handey sticks his head out the window and decapitates a dog? Yeah! Thing about that!
