The prosecution witness would have sounded much "cooler" if she said "one in the pipe is not abnormal." ;-)

Re: One in the pipe - do you do it?

I'm not advocating carrying on an empty chamber. However, the "It won't happen to me" syndrome is a cause of many unpleasant outcomes. I don't think there's an adult on this planet that can truthfully say they have never injured themselves in any way due to their own negligence. It might have been a minor injury, or a major one, but it happens to all of us. It's just part of life. Speaking for myself, I've cut myself, banged many fingers, tripped over objects, burned my finger(s), etc., etc, etc. all the while going though life believing I am a "careful" person. I don't think I'm alone.

While we should all be vigilant, there will always be times when we are distracted enough, whether through our own complacency, or distraction, etc., that bad stuff can happen. To believe otherwise is delusional. MHO.
