I will not be a railroad engineer.

I will not go to the station to see my girlfriend off on a train.

I will not be born or grow up near a railroad track.

If I were a woman and my lover asked me to go for a walk or a ride, I would ask him his intentions before we leave, and not when we get out in the middle of nowhere.

I will listen to what my mother says.

If I court the daughter of a wealthy man, I will not leave her and go out west to seek my fortune.

If I were young and handsome, I would not herd cattle during a thunderstorm. Especially if I had a mother at home waiting for my return.

I will burglar-proof my chicken coops.
