“If adventure has a final and all-embracing motive, it is surely this: we go out because it is our nature to go out, to climb mountains, and to paddle rivers, to fly to the planets and plunge into the depths of the oceans... When man ceases to do these things, he is no longer man.

-- Wilfrid Noyce
Three friends went down to Mexico one night, got drunk, and woke up in jail, only to find that they were to be executed in the morning. Unfortunately, none of them could remember what they did the night before. The first friend was strapped in the electric chair, and was asked if she had any last words. She said, "I believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on the behalf of the innocent." The prison warden threw the switch and nothing happened. Immediately, the prison warden begs her for forgiveness, and sets her free. The second friend is strapped in and says, "I am a law student and I believe in the power of justice to intervene on the part of the innocent." They threw the switch again, nothing happened. The prison warden begs her for forgiveness, and releases her. The last one, a mountaineer, is strapped in and says, "Before I became a mountaineer, I was an electrician, and I can tell you right now, you're not going to electrocute anybody if you don't plug this thing in."
