Something Else to Make Fun of

Because I have no life and I’m a bitter old man I found this amusing. I got some life insurance paper spam today which contained this as the second sentance:

Did you know that accidents are the 3rd leading cause of death for people under the age of 65?*

The * pointed out to a footnote on the back page which informed me that this stunning display of accuracy and non-ambiguity was from 1997.


Accidents of what? So after 65 I’m less likely to die of an accident? WTF?
