The danger of lying in bed

The man in the ticket-office said: "Have an accident insurance ticket,aslo ? "No",i said,after studying the matter over a little."No,i believe not; i am going to be traveling by rail all the day today.However, tomorrow i don't travel.Give me one for tomorrow." The man looked puzzled.He said:"But it is for accident insurance, and if you are going to travel by rail.."" If i am going to travel by rail i shan'n't need it.Lying at home in bed is the thing i am afraid of ." ... I suppose if i put in all the little odd journeys here and there,i may say i habe traveled sixty thousand miles during the three years i have mentioned.And never an accident .
