A little note for fun...
- If you want to win a car race, you have to go as fast as possible.
- Is that all what you intend to teach me?
- No, not only; be the most careful possible, your life depends on it.
- Better and better! Isn’t it, incidentally, a bit contradictory?
- Indeed.
- Then, they must be crazy!
- Or silly; but if they don’t die, they become very rich.
