Nerve impulses travel a bit slower than a racehorse: at about 35 mph. Given the few inches between the brain and mouth it only takes a fraction of a second from thought to tongue.
World War I aircraft had a interrupter gear which kept the machine gun from firing when the propeller was in the way. It was a nifty invention since it kept pilots from shooting themselves down. Too bad people don’t have a similar mechanism between brain and mouth to keep them from shooting themselves down.

Always fun to say to someone late in the evening at a party, “Now tell me what you really think about…..”
