Kamikaze

Meaning: explosive-laden airplanes that were flown into enemy targets by suicidal Japanese pilots.  (Alternative: a person who behaves in a wildly reckless, self-destructive manner!)

My sister is convinced that I have Kamikaze tendencies. I push the envelope and live on the edge, constantly risking trouble with my wife.

It’s an inside joke between us. My sister is astonished how easily I am prepared to self-destruct on the alter of marital harmony.  Some of it is intentional. Much of it comes with the territory.  

I think it is a guy thing – sometimes we seek trouble, sometimes trouble finds us. Either way we live akin to the kamikaze pilots.  Either way, we go down in flames!
