What are the odds?
I’m sure that you have often wondered what the odds are of something actually happening. Well, here are a few interesting things that show your odds of just such an occurrence:
Winning the Powerball jackpot: 1 in 175,000,000
Becoming an Astronaut: 1 in 12,100,000
Becoming the President of the US: 1 in 10,000,000
Winning an Olympic Gold Medal: 1 in 662,000
Becoming a professional athlete: 1 in 22,000
Making a Hole-in-One: 1 in 12,500
Suffering a disability of 5 or more years: 1 in 8
While the odds are stacked against you in doing or winning something you really need/want/desire, the odds of losing your ability to earn a living are much too high.
YMMV

Ummm... source of these interesting statistics?
Anyway... are you saying that we should just expect that 1 in 8 guys will be "neurotoxed" and so just suck it up?
You use the words: "something actually happening." What is that something your referring to in our context, a disability or a remedy to the situation? \
Just askin'. Thanks.
