"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."
