“You're weak on logic, that's the trouble with you. You're like the guy in the story who was caught in a sudden shower and Who ran to a grove of trees and got under one. He wasn't worried, you see, because he figured when one tree got wet through, he would just get under another one."

One of my all time favorites. Though it took me a while to remember the source of the quote. I thought it had been used in the context of global warming so google didn’t turn up much. Then I remembered it’s actually from a story about universal cooling.
