Faith in Numbers:
Numbers-cruncher: Hello. Thanks for calling Smythe-Bootley brokerage. Can I help you?
Me: 'Spose. The stock is up. A lot. How much if I sold?
Numbers-cruncher: [xxxxxxx some order of magnitude] US dollars.
Me: Okay.
Me: (pause)
Me: I'm not gonna do it.
Numbers-cruncher: Got faith, eh?
Me: I believe in the widget. Always have. There's very little to believe in out there. And this is real. Really real.
Numbers-cruncher: Of course, sir. You have a nice day.
Me: Thanks.
