- As you may learn from any traffic cop who has to deter semiconscious pedestrians from getting knocked galley-west, it is practically impossible to teach an old jaywalker the new trick of ceasing to be a jaywalker.

This might eventually evolve a generation of adults who never get bumped by motorists, leaving the motorists with nobody to smack but each other.
