A/N Hi, people! Okay now those of u who read my other stories may be wondering why the heck I'm starting another one, but this just popped into my head and I wanted to write it YAY! Also for the sake of this story Frank and Joe are nine monthes apart so are in the same grade.
Disclaimer: Perche? Non hol soldi.
Facts used are from my textbook!
Joe's POV
"Settle down people." My teacher Mr. Brians ordered. We were in Oral and written which was the only class I have with Frank, because he has all honors classes and this is my only honors class. Anyways my teacher is supposedly telling us what we are quote 'Really afraid of.' Yeah, whatever. Sure. "People are growing increasingly fearful with the spread of terrorism and diseases like West Nile, the question is why do we fear these things? Should we fear them or are these fears irrational and unfounded?" Snore. "Despite the fact that 1 in 9,000,000 die in a plane crash while a much larger number die in car accidents, many people still believe they are safer in the car. Why is this you ask?" Actually, I'd prefer he kept that to himself. I'm not all that interested. "Our brains have two parts that receive information one of these the amagdala which controls are emotions. So, when your brain receives information it processes thing based on how new the danger is, the control you have over it, and how much you trust the source." Wow, I don't think I've ever been so interested in something! Not. "Many people fear things like being it by a dog or getting shot. But these facts should help convince you of otherwise. The chances of you being bit by a dog is 1 in 19,000,000, the chances of you being killed by a gun is 1 in 28,000, for kidnapping you only have a 1 in 1,300,000! These figures are per year." Right, well, these statistics clearly don't apply to Frank or I, as we have each been kidnapped probably a dozen times this year alone.
"Excuse me, Mr. Brians I have a question." Biff said raising his hand while I noticed struggling to keep a straight face.
"Yes Mr. Hooper?" Mr. Brians asked. Most likely assuming that Biff's question was about something serious. Right.
"If it's a less then a one in a million chance of being kidnapped why have Frank and Joe been kidnapped like twelve times already this year?" Hah! My teacher is gaping like a fish! Let's see him wiggle his way out of that one with a statistic! I lean over and tell Frank this.
"Well, Joe as Mark Twain once said 'There are three kinds of lies, lies, damn lies, and statistics.' Frank informed me. Hmm…trust Frank to be able to quote some guy who's been dead for like a century.
A/N I hope everyone liked it, it'll have more actions soon this was just a small plot start. Review! I love reviews! They make me smile:0)
