“So, uh, you remember the Cuban missile crisis, right?”
“Somewhat.”
“Was it scarier than this?”
“Scarier than what?”
“THIS. Right now, this. The banks.”
“Oh. Well, yeah! We all thought we were going to die.”
“Okay. I just, well–this is the scariest things have been in my adult lifetime, so I just needed some perspective.”
“Yeah, the Cuban missile crisis was scarier.”
“All right, then. Thanks.”
