 I ran into something recently that I thought might be log-worthy. My wife was watching Van Helsing, the TV series, and I heard one of the characters say this:
                   1.  I didn’t save you because you’re not important.
 Now, what he meant was:
                   2.  I wouldn’t have saved you if you weren’t important.
