I guess I see the Doctor as less likely to kill you because you pissed him off. Poke fun of you, yeah. Come up with some more inventive punishment, sure. But kill you? Not his style.

On the other hand, for just that reason, I'd take my chances pissing Jack off before the Doctor. Between "Countrycide" and "Family of Blood," I'd risk Jack any day. There are fates worse than death.

Not that second degree burns sound like any fun. *wrygrin*
