[This is a guest post from Brett Powley]

I ran into something recently that I thought might be log-worthy. My 
wife was watching Van Helsing, the TV series, and I heard one of the 
characters say this:

                  1.  I didn’t save you because you’re not important.

Now, what he meant was:

                  2.  I wouldn’t have saved you if you weren’t important.
