Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 15, 2019

I don’t know, he came to the same conclusion that we will come to in the end.

“Enjoy life while you can, you won’t get out of it alive.”

You only die once too, so don’t rush it.

Was that before or after he said “hold my beer”?

And where he is now, he’ll live forever.

“it’s a calculated risk”. Words fit to put over the door of the Trump Presidential Library.

Death is a mathematical certainty.

Did he buy a gun?

I was a math major in college. And today, forty years later, my dentist told me I had too much calculus.

“Well, Mike, believe me, I calculated the odds of this succeeding against the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid… and I went ahead anyway.”

-Crow T. Robot

Darwin Awards once again in operation.

Don’t need calculus to see how that adds up.

The sophisticated version of: “Hey, y’all, WATCH THIS!”

When I was a pilot, I lived by the following motto: “Flying is a calculated risk. Do it often enough, and eventually it will kill you. The objective is to stack the odds so much in your favor that something else, preferably old age, will kill you first.”

Well, he didn’t angle his way there by mistake or did he?

Apparently the difference between calculus and statistics isn’t Wiley Miller’s strong point, which is why the joke comes up lame. Is there a joke therapist in the house?

As I tell my wife, “You can do Anything once”.

What was the other woman’s name?

Seems in scenes such as this one, all Wiley’s participants are well along in age. Curious, given the variety of really foolish ways people of all ages reach this point nowadays.

He was right you only live once fly

What does calculus have to do with it?

You only live twice, once when you are born, and once when you stare death in the face.

- Ian Fleming

Unless you are James Bond, then, You Only Live Twice.

Irony, as shown on headstones. Keep up the great work

Calculus does not help one with probabilities.

Death comes for us all.

He actually seemed dead sure about his actions.

You only live twice or so it seems one life for yourself and one for your dreams

Or basic probability.

Most people only Die Once, too, but most of us prefer to make the “Live Once” part last as long as possible.

Do you live, or do you exist?

He calculated his allotted number of lives correctly…

Or in the Turd’s gravestone methinks

Not “you only live once,” but “you live only once.”
