Big trouble

So for work, i read Talent Management magazine, which is normally not worthy about writing about here. But i'm reading an article that starts off like this:

On a Monday night in June I was sitting in bed reading a golf magazine and I said to my beautiful wife Laura, "I'm going to design a golf course, and it will be made of bricks."

She asked; "Bricks? How about grass?"

I replied, "No, bricks."

"And who is going to help you?" she asked.

I said, "The people in this room."

The next thing I remember is a paramedic bringing me into Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, California. I was having a transient ischemic attack - a mini stroke.

From there the author transitions into a benign message about how people in HR have to be able to diagnose and solve problems. But holy crap! If a mildly nonsensical conversation is the warning sign for a stroke, min and i are in trouble. Because i guarantee you that min's next line in the above dialogue would be "Well, even if you build the course, you still won't be able to get the dinosaurs to play golf." And then she'd go back to whatever she was doing.

(As an aside, i really don't approve of that semicolon after "She asked" in the quote above, but it's in the original.)
