Me: It's not that I don't believe in you or support you - although I think politicians are slimy and it's a nasty business and I don't know why you want any part of it - it's that I am so scared that if you quit, you will never find another job and I will be stuck working until I am 70 and we won't have enough money to be old.
Primo: I'm scared, too.
Me: What if I lose my job? What if I get laid off?
Primo: What if I'm hit by a bus tonight on my way to karaoke?
Me: Then I would get a check for $1.3 million dollars from your life insurance plus whatever the bus company would give me.
good point! never realized that getting hit by the bus is infinitely better than getting laid off!
