Fear is not nice, but it is human. Everyone has it. In front of a wide variety of things. And you should never make fun of it. But unfortunately there are really really funny fears. Because there is a phobia for pretty much everything and a technical term for pretty much every phobia . So now here for you, exclusively, the ultimate fear bingo! If this weren't a public, well-off blog, you could even call it a top drinking game. But it is. So let's not do that. Still works.
