Me: I love that you agree with me on everything [when it comes to opinions on Doctor Who and Torchwood]. It makes me happy. (beat) Because I’m right. (beat) And that means you’re right, too.
My friend: I like the way you worded that. Because then if we end up on opposite sides at some point, you’ll have set yourself up on the “right� side.
Me: Well, of course I’m right. If I weren’t right I’d change my opinion.
My friend: Wait, you’re not allowing for the possibility that you might be wrong?
Me: Of course not. Why would I want to be wrong? If I were wrong, I’d change my mind so I was right.
My friend: But maybe you believe . . .
Me: Pffffft! Why would I want to believe something that wasn’t true?
