Need to use terms related to fallacious reasoning

 

 

You will excuse me from taking any more chances on those beds.

The railroads are good enough for me.

And my advice to all people is, Don't stay at home any more than

you can help; but when you have GOT to stay at home a while,

buy a package of those insurance tickets and sit up nights.

You cannot be too cautious.

[One can see now why I answered that ticket-agent in the manner

recorded at the top of this sketch.]

The moral of this composition is, that thoughtless people grumble

more than is fair about railroad management in the United States.

When we consider that every day and night of the year full fourteen

thousand railway-trains of various kinds, freighted with life

and armed with death, go thundering over the land, the marvel is,

NOT that they kill three hundred human beings in a twelvemonth,

but that they do not kill three hundred times three hundred!
