You’re sitting on top of the world. “You’ve got everything you de sire, it seems. Everything except a few words I want to tell you. “I haven’t got a wife—yet. But I intend to have one some day. And I want that day to arrive with me all in one piece. So, buddy, I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t pass me on hills—YOU are endangering MY life. “And another thing; I haven’t got a big powerful car like your’s.

Well, I’m still in college and don’t have a job lined up yet. But I will, and I hope that eventually I’ll be able to afford some of the things you have.

Just like the ones I hope to have some day. Kids are almost a sure sign of happiness. And talking about signs, I’d appreciate it, buddy, if you’d obey the ones that have been put out for your and my f protection. YOU are en dangering you, me and everyone else.” “There’s a lot more things I’d like to tell you about.

I’m sorry about that. Talking to you made me re alize that I’ve been doing things to endanger myself—and YOU. “We’re not all perfect — but some of us aren’t even trying.” It is common in Spain to present women with a bottle of Sherry wine after childbirth.
