- Ha ha ha ha ha! Don't you just love statitistics! How many peole do
- you know who travel in cars with no drivers? They are the safest.
- Statistics also show that most accidents happen close to home. I'm
- safest when I drive in Greenland because it's far from home. This is
- like the statistic that shows that if you travel on a commercial
- airline, you are safer if you carry a bomb; there is a chance that there
- will be a bomb on the plane, but the chance of there being 2 bombs on
- the plane is virtually zero.
