We are going on holiday, me and my wife. And we are going by plane. Normally we go by car, but this year we are flying. I have always been a little bit afraid of flying. And after we ordered our holiday there have been several accidents and lots of lives have been lost. I am worried.
I talked to Uncle Jack about it.
- Don't worry, it's the safest way to travel, he said.
I was not convinced. I'm afraid a terrorist of some kind will be on board with a bomb.
- What's the probability of that? was his reaction. Think of the thousands of flights everyday. When did you last hear about a bomb on a plane? The probability of someone with a bomb on a plane is extremely small.
I must still have looked dubious, for he added:
- Bring a bomb yourself. The probability of two people bringing a bomb on the same plane is infinitesimal, it is almost non-existent.
Uncle Jack has a solution to every problem.
