A lot of my conversations lately with medical, financial, and statistics types feel like thumb-sucking, with people mostly proferring pointless advice, disconnected from reality. It reminds me of this classic scene from HHGTTG:
BARMAN
You really think the world’s going to end?
(Ford nods)
Shouldn’t we lie down or put a bag over
our heads or something?FORD
If you want.BARMAN
Will it help?FORD
Not really.He gives everyone in the bar a friendly salute, exits.
