1. Well one question that has plagued me is:  What is meant by "Accidental
     Collision" ?  Ever since I heard the term, it struck me as being an
     oxymoron.  How can an auto collision be accidental?  People drive cars.
     Sure they can take precautions and all to avoid collision, but what is
     the basic purpous of travel?  Isn't it for insurance claims?  It's not
     as if I took precautions against having an accident at work and then had
     one.  That would be unexpected.  No driver is 100% alert at all times to
     my knowledge, so it should be expected that one could become crunched.
     Maybe the term should be "Unwanted Collision".  Please enlighten me on
     the subjec.  Maybe my logic is backwards or contradictory as is often
     the case, but upon further analysis it usually is correct.  Whatever!

With your views on the likelihood of pregnancy, why do you care?

Sounds like you've either been seeing some rather gold-digging *and*
imperceptive women, or you've got your nose in the air.  With only one
e-mail article to go on, I'd hesitate to trust my instincts and pick the
latter, so hopefully I'll get to meet you sometime and find out for sure
which one it is.  ;-)   "It's a joke, son, it's a joke!"

>5. Is this when I put on my asbestos suit?

If you have to ask, you're already too late.  ;-)
