(My assumption being that English is a 2nd language for you...) If you&#x27;re referring to the &quot;Mr. Late&quot; and &quot;late Mr.&quot;, it&#x27;s a play on words. &quot;Mr.&quot; being a male title in English, and the dead are sometimes referred to as &quot;the late Mr. Smith&quot; (why is a lifelong mystery to me). So it&#x27;s better to be the guy that&#x27;s late (&quot;Mr. Late&quot;) rather than speed down a dangerous road and be dead (&quot;the late Mr. Smith&quot;).
