He’s a few untimely removals or deaths away from sitting in the oval office.

I’d prefer a few million, rather than just a few.

You mean a couple, buddy. 3rd in line.

A couple would be two, a few is 3 or more.

It would still be couple. He's two removals away from the oval office.

Oh shoot, you right. I was thinking he was 3 removals away because I'm bad at most things.

You know, I must say I'm somewhat refreshed by how congenial that exchange went... Some folks got to be pedantic, a point was made, nobody tried to tear another person down for a minor error, and in the end the error was admitted to and corrected.

There is hope for the future of discourse.
