-------------------

1. Too Much Crime
 
A: Why is there so much crime?

A: Is that it?
B: Also, there aren’t enough police.
A: But there are a lot of police.
B: There’s only one police officer per 100 criminals.
A: Can’t we hire more police?
B: No. It costs too much money.
A: Doesn’t crime cost more than police?
B: Yes, it does.
A: So it would be cheaper to hire more police?

4. Play with Fire
 
A: They say he has started fifteen big fires.
B: He’s been in jail three times already.
A: Why did they ever let him out?
B: It’s the law. They can’t keep him in jail forever.
A: Why not? Everyone knows he’s a firebug. He loves to start fires.
B: I don’t know. Sometimes the law doesn’t make sense.
A: But his latest fire killed someone.
B: This time they have charged him with murder.
A: So maybe he’ll go to jail forever?
B: I sure hope so.
A: Someone should set him on fire.
B: That would teach him a good lesson.
 

5. Fasten Your Seatbelt
 
A: Put your seatbelt on.

A: You’d be blind for the rest of your life!
B: I’ll get the stepladder.
 

7. A Puddle on the Floor
 
A: Did you see that puddle of water on the floor?
B: Yes. I called for a clean-up.
A: A puddle of water is very dangerous.
B: It isn’t easy to see.
A: But it’s real easy to slip on.
B: Especially on these slick floors.
A: Someone who slips could hurt their back.
B: They could even crack their head open.
A: We should stand here till the clean-up person gets here.
B: We can leave if we put an orange cone here.

A: I have to go back upstairs.
B: Why? We’re already late.
A: I have to check the stove.
B: What’s the matter?

A: Are you sure?
B: Of course I’m sure.
A: Well, I have to go back upstairs anyway.
B: It’s getting later every minute.
A: I think I left the water running.
B: No, you didn’t. Let’s go! The only thing running is the clock!
 

10. Guns for All
 
A: The city is buying guns.
B: What are they paying?
A: Up to $200 for each gun, no questions asked.
B: Why are they doing this?
A: They want to get guns off the street.

A: That isn’t a good deal?
B: A good gun costs $400 or more.
A: Well, if you bring your receipt, maybe they’ll give you $400.
B: I’ll keep my receipt and my gun.

B: The mayor says the crime rate is going down.
A: Then why does everyone lock their doors?
B: I guess they haven't read this article.
A: No one believes that the crime rate is going down.
B: Maybe the mayor is just talking about his own neighborhood.
 

12. Two Different States
 
A: People who live in California are crazy.
B: Why is that?
A: Because of all the earthquakes and fires.
B: But big earthquakes happen only once in a while.
A: Once in a while is once too many.
B: But you’re right. There are a lot of fires.
A: A recent fire destroyed 85 homes.
B: Still, it’s safer than Florida.
A: Florida doesn’t have earthquakes or fires.
B: No, Florida just has hurricanes every year from June to October.
