Like Tyler Cowen for the C-students

Overheard in the Diner

2011-09-23
This morning I sat at the counter and overheard the following exchange from the booth behind me:
Guy 1:  I mean, the problem is when people find out they have cancer, they get depressed, then they get chemo, then they get sick and die.
Guy 2:  That's not how it works, man.
Guy 1:  No, think about it...if I never knew I had cancer, I'd never get sick and die.
Guy 2:  No, because cancer winds up attacking your whole body and killing you.
Guy 1:  [I think I heard this part correctly] Well, right now, it's only in my throat.
On a semi-related note, 50/50 looks really good to me.  I might even see it in a theater.
