Mostly old stuff, but the gem was the comment by the head of Operation Lifesaver, comparing hitting an aluminum can with your automobile to being the same as a locomotive hitting a car.

There'd be a darned sight fewer car/train collisions if everyone driving comprehended that factoid.

I've seen the last few frames of that final piece. There's a good reason they stopped it where they did... [:(]
