Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."

Leslie can be a little high-strung. Sometimes I walk in and say crazy stuff like, "Hello." or "Hi." and she jumps out of her skin.
That happened the other night. I walked into the kitchen. She was cooking or putting away dishes from the dishwasher or something. I said, "Hi" and she was startled and jumped a little.
"Oh," she said, "Sorry. It was a very intense moment on Hawaii-Five-O."
"Hm," I replied. "I will add that to my list of things I didn't expect to ever hear from you."
