Slatten is walking on a downtown street one day, and he happens to see his old high school friend, Peewee a little way up ahead.

" Peewee, how are you?" he greets his old buddy after getting his attention.

"Not so good," says Peewee

"Why, what happened?" Slat queries.

"Well," Peewee says, "I just went bankrupt and I've still got to feed my family. I don't know what I'm going to do."

"Could have been worse,"Slat replies calmly. "Could have been worse."

A month or so later, Slat again encounters Peewee, in a restaurant. "And how are things now?" he asks.

"Terrible!" says Peewee. "Our house burned down last night."



"Could have been worse," says Slat, again with total aplomb, and goes about his business.

A month later, Slat runs into Peewee a third time. "Well, how goes it?" he inquires.

"Oh!" says Peewee. "Things just get worse and worse. It's one tragedy after another! Now my wife has left me!"



Slat nods his head and gives his usual optimistic-seeming little smile, accompanied by his usual words: "Could've been worse."

This time, Peewee grabs Slat by the shoulders.

"Wait a minute!" he says. "I'm not gonna let you off so easy this time. Three times in the past few months we've run into one another, and every time I've told you the latest disaster in my life. Every time you say the same thing: 'Could have been worse.' This time, for God's sake,Slat, I want you to tell me: how in Heaven's name could it have been any worse?"

Slatten smiles at him: "Could have happened to me."
