ep29 Reward Nineteen Years Later

Rich reward from men 19 years later. Firefly catching is an industry. 20% of all American motorists escape head-on collisions by one second. Can you imagine that? Well, as usual, those statements are true. And in just a moment or two, my able cast of actors and I are going to be back with you to prove them and others.

Their motion pictures proved that one out of every five drivers allowed less than one second to get back into his own lane again and avoid a head-on collision. The time between
