Have you ever held your breath for some exciting event to happen? I've never tried it.
On the news today a South Korean girl said she was hopeful that North Korea would give up its nukes, but said, "I'm not holding my breath."
I thought, well, that's good news.
I usually only hold my breath when I'm required under water. Or when my doctor tells me to breath in and hold while she probes me with a stethoscope that's obviously been kept in her freezer beside the pork chops overnight.
I certainly wouldn't hold my breath for international relations. What if Kimmy finds out that all Trump wants is build some hotels and golf courses in his country and molest his stash of strippers. The deal is dead, dude. This poor girl will die waiting. Another death wasted on a false hope.
On second thought, maybe I should hold my breath a little more often, since CO2 is a greenhouse gas. I know my wife would like that.
