Bingo.

However, Dan, I'm not going to get on the subject of "stretching the 
envelope of reasonably safe driving".  Truth be told, most idiots on the 
road stretch the limits a lot more at 25mph around town than I did that 
night at 110.  It was 3am, I was fully awake and sober, professionally 
trained to drive at high speeds (a LOT higher than 110mph) on Autobahnen in 
Germany, in a new car which was (boringly) stable at that speed, on an 
8-lane totally-dead-straight-ahead section of I-95 on a 75'F clear Florida 
night.  I saw 3 other cars in 32 miles.

I appreciate and understand your concern, but without knowing me 
personally, I can assure you I'm not as bad as I seem. :)
But Fry was right -- me saying 'Are you mad?!?!' was a sarcastic comment... 
of course I should have laid back after #2.  But I was 19 years old, and 
(among other reasons why I was going so fast) the statistics were totally 
stacked in my favor -- for Christ's sake how likely is it to get nailed 3x 
in one day!?!??! ;)  [That was also sarcastic]

:)
