[OT] Out of the mouths of babes ;-)
Seen on an email list:
"On a health/safety quiz in high school, my son encountered this question: "When you are a pedestrian, you should assume that motorists don't ____________." The "correct" answer was "see you." My son put, "care whether you live or die." The teacher gave him credit for the response, in the belief that *this* belief would probably keep him even safer as a pedestrian than the standard one would." R. |
