Cause And Defect

(My boyfriend and me are discussing what groceries we need. I suggest a type of chocolate bar that are currently on clearance at the chemist’s. Also, he prefers slimmer girls.)

Boyfriend: “We don’t always need snacks.”

Me: “But they make me happy!”

Boyfriend: “I know. But if you get too happy, you’ll make me unhappy.”

Me: “What!?”

Boyfriend: “Well, it’s not a direct cause and effect, but there’s a strong correlation!”
