You Are Inspirationally Bad 
			 
			
		
		
		
		(I and a friend are practicing serves for badminton in gym. My friend hasn’t been doing so well on hitting the birdie, and eventually this exchange occurs.) 
 
Friend: “I believe in the heart of the cards!” 
 
Me: “There aren’t any cards here.” 
 
Friend: “Then I believe in the heart of the racket!” 
 
(He whiffs yet another serve.) 
 
Me: *deadpan* “Your racket has arrhythmia.”
