"6.My mother taught me FORESIGHT.
'Make sure you wear clean underwear in case you're in an accident.'"

Bill Cosby said, "I thought that's what an accident was!!! You're driving in your car and there is a truck coming right at you. Now whether you hit the truck or not, you're going to have SOILED UNDERWEAR!!!!! Because first you say it, then you do it!"

"Now you're in the emergency room and your mother comes in. 'Did he have clean underwear?' 'Yes Mrs. Cosby, we found it in the glove compartment.'"

Mother taught me that I was going to hell and how I was going to get there. Going to hell in a hand basket. I guess my wife ( a Mother) thinks so too as I told her that I was taking all my toys and all the money with me when I go and her answer was that it wouldn't do me any good because it would burn as soon as I got there.
