    I learned about this from “Scorpion”. A man named Doctor Toby Curtis is trying to help his ex-wife get her stolen identity back, and through a series of unfortunate events she and Toby end up stuck in a casket by the man who stole her identity, then the follow conversation ensues :-

    Toby : I just keep messing your life up

    Amy : No, you were just trying to help. I’m the one who got you trapped in a coffin.

    Toby : This is a casket. Coffins are tapered at the top and bottom.

    Amy : Really? This is the last conversation you want to have? Correcting someone’s word choice?

    And since then I have ALWAYS remembered it. Because – you know – it’s something that sticks with you.

    (Did I mention I am a fun of dark humour?)
