Default My wife getting scared

In a previous article, Jay Honeck said:
2. Mary and I could be killed driving on the highway any day of the
week.


Statistically, that's true. In human terms, though, my wife knows maybe
25 pilots, and 2 of them have died in airplanes in the last couple of
years. She knows hundreds of drivers, and none of them have died in car
crashes recently. (Ok, one of them was kidnapped, raped and killed by a
guy impersonating a police officer who stopped her driving, but that's
another fear of hers regarding our four teenage and early twenties
daughters.)

There are two ways to write error-free programs. Only the third one works.
