1. No day that includes a Bach cello suite can be all bad.

2. Any day can include a Bach cello suite.

3. Therefore a day that’s all bad can always be avoided.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), Suite No. 1 in G major for Unaccompanied Cello; Pablo Casals (1876-1973), live, France (Abbey of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa), 1954
