>From YouTube:
"Depending on circumstances in your life when young your life can go the
wrong way with one bad decision. It's all about circumstance and any
_serious_ of choices that can change your life good or bad!"
IIRC, back in the '40's, the cartoonist Jimmy Hatlo, among other writers,
used to have his characters speak of "the World _Serious_." I thought that
it was just a joke and not something that anybody actually said/wrote.
Of course, in the cite sentence, _serious_ could be just an accidental
misspelling.
Youneverknow.
