“A pessimist is a man who looks both ways before crossing a one-way street.”   — Laurence J.  Peter

(My wife’s aunt was actually hit – and killed – crossing a one-way street, by some guy who must have missed his turn, and was travelling in reverse!  I guess Larry would’ve called her an optimist.(?)  Up to that point, I probably never looked both ways crossing one-way streets, but now I try to pay attention to all the cars, on all kinds of streets.  No apologies.) — YUR
