An American vampire just doesn’t HAVE THE STOMACH FOR it

The other time the conversation in class was about bungee jumping. Quite a few students said that they would never try it because they weren’t brave enough to jump off a bridge or platform with only an elastic cord around the waist. I had to admit that I, too, don’t HAVE THE STOMACH FOR it. Zip-lining yes, bungee jumping no. I have a similar fear of cockroaches – small and harmless insects – so I just don’t have the stomach for killing them.

Use the language

Confession time! What don’t you have the stomach for?
