Jack: “What’s your worst fear, Jill?”

Jill: “Snakes. Yuk!”

Jack: “Come on, pal, everybody says Snakes. I mean, for Real, What is it?”

Jill: “I’m not sure we’re ready for Real, Jack.”

Jack: “Okay, I’ll start. Death.”

Jill: “Death? Really? But you’re still young.”

Jack: “Yeah, for a moment.”

Jill: “What do you mean ... for a moment?”

Jack: “The universe is 13.7 billion years old.”

Jill: “ ... So?”

 Jack: “So, relatively speaking, we'll be old and dead within a universal nanosecond.”

Jill: “Look on the bright side, Jack! We won't have aged a day!”
