Over-Inflated Optimism?

Let me set the stage. Today there was a very loud drilling noise in my office building to the point that the walls were shaking a bit.

Co-worker: What is that noise?
Me: I dunno.
Co-worker: Do you think we're okay?
Me: Oh we're fine. I'm not worried.
Co-worker: What would it feel like if the building were about to collapse?
Me: (From my vast expertise on the subject) I'm sure things would be falling over.
Co-worker: Do you think we would die if the building collapsed, I mean we're on the 11th floor. . .
Me: The 11th floor means we'd be close to the top of the rubble. They'd totally find us first.

Gotta love the silver lining!

  2. You're so right! What do I have to be worried about? A couple tons of rebar and cement on top above us is barely like a sheet over our heads! I feel safer already! :)
