92. Only the Good Die Young p.128

Diana bumps into her friend, Steve.

D: Hi, Steve! It's awful hot today, isn't it?

S: You can say that again!

D: Let's go kayaking later.

S: Are you kidding? I can't even swim.

D: So what? You'll be safe with a life jacket and a helmet on.

S: What if the kayak capsizes?

D: I'll teach you to “Eskimo roll.”

S: What's that?

D: Well, it's a special technique we use to get the kayak upright when it overturns.

S: I don't know… it sounds pretty dangerous.

D: Come on. Don't worry. Only the good die young.

S: What do you mean by that?

D: Just kidding. Let's go. OK?

S: Ok. Anyway, if only the good die young, we'll both probably live to be a hundred.
