A Scotsman bought a car and took a friend for a ride in it. The friend "as astonished to observe that,' at every petrol filling station, Sandy stopped and bought a gallon from the pump. After the sixth stop, the friend remonstrated. “Look here,” he said, ‘‘why don’t you fill the tank completely and save yourself the trouble of stopping every few miles.” “Mon,” replied the Scot, “d’ye no’ understand that we might have an accident, and then a’ the petrol would be wasted.”
