Venturing out for groceries (which I'm going to do today, for the first time in nearly three weeks) reminds me of the caption from one of Bill Mauldin’s World War II cartoons: “I feel like a fugitive from the law of averages,” says the soldier slouched low in his foxhole as bullets streak overhead.
The resemblance in terms of risk has been explored by at least one political cartoonist, who depicted a soldierly-looking silhouette on a mission into "enemy territory" – then revealed this to be a housewife shopping for essentials.

Considering that one dictionary definition of "carry on" is to "behave or speak in a foolish, excited, or improper manner," the designers of that famous poster, "Keep Calm and Carry On," need to make up their flippin' minds!
