PATIENT - "Tell me candidly, Doc, do you think I'll pull through?"
DOCTOR - "Oh, you're bound to get well - you can't help yourself. The Medical Record shows that out of one hundred cases like yours, one per cent invariably recovers. I've treated ninety-nine cases, and every one of them died. Why, man alive, you can't die if you try! There's no humbug in statistics."
