Facing Your Fear, Peeing Into The Wind!
There's a theory that to overcome a fear, you have to face it.
The thought of public speaking scares me to the very core. But it is an art. To master it, you must practice it. And in this case, practice does indeed make perfect. But till that point of perfection is reached, it is all butterfly-filled tummy tied up in anxious knots.
A Friends scene comes to mind, where Chandler is afraid of commitment and Joey convinces him that he should face his fear, 'stare down the barrel of the gun, pee into the wind.' And Chandler's response here seems so adequate.
'If I'm going to be staring down the barrel of the gun, I'm gonna be peeing pretty much every which way!'
