I've always heard it preached this way: a rich man was hiring a chauffer for his little daughter.

The first said, "Sir, I can drive a car with the tires right on the edge of the drop." The second said, "Sir, I could drive on the shoulder without concern for your daughter's safety." The third replied, "Why, I'd stay as far from the cliff as possible!" The man immediately hired the third driver.


Which is fine til you consider that a man who drives too close to the mountainside can be just as dangerous as the one driving too close to the cliff.

Well, if you look at it this way: We didn't do A because it was too similar to B, which in turn was too similar to C, but even though it is just two steps removed, A bares very little likeness to C -never mind the original sin (which may be the most biblical-principle like), D.

And no doubt also helps to create road rage in those driving behind him or her because of their tendency to drive under the speed limit thus slowing ALL the cars behind them to a crawl.

Here is a good one for you!

Sometimes it is far safer to climb over the mountain despite the snow, cold, and cliffs, then it is to go through the mines.
