Multiple Universes
After describing some ridiculous thing I did in my youth (and remember, I'm still young, so it could have been yesterday) I often say that I believe in multiple universes and in most of them I'm dead and my mom is sad. I then add that in a few, I'm dead and my mother is ecstatic. Am I being serious when I say that? No. In this universe, it's more a tangential commentary on expected value. In other universes I'm dead serious.
