So you never pnmMe!
I)o you ever cross the street In
the middle of the block to save a
minute or two? If so, you gamble
the millions of minutes remaining in
vour normal life span against that
inconsequential minute or two.
Do you ever take an occasional
chance while driving your car? Ever
puss another car on a curve or a
hill? Ever exceed the speed limit?
Ever pass a standing street car?
