Conversations With My Wife: Former Presidents Edition

Me: I would love to be a former president. I mean, look at Barack Obama. Even if he serves eight years, he'll be in his mid-fifties when he retires. He'll have a federal pension, he'll get to write his memoir, build a library, and do whatever he wants for the rest of his life. Thirty years of Saturdays.

Her: John McCain not so much. Because he'll be dead.

Me: Indeed. [...] I would hate being president, but I'd love to be a former president.

Her: Maybe you can be John McCain's former president.
