When I was in high school, a boy in the grade above me was hit by a car late one night and died. There was a big red smear on the road for weeks; I don’t know why no one cleaned it up. The next day during Athletics, the head coach gathered everyone together and said that what happened was a tragedy. Then he said, “Nothing good happens after 11pm unless you are a married man.” I thought it was really nice at the time… I think I still do.
