To be fair, “president of the country whose president got iced last week” is a common enough job. In fact by murders per capita I heard US president is the most dangerous job in the world.
“In fact” and “I heard” don’t go well together in a sentence. Unless you’re saying it’s a fact that you’ve heard it of course.
Also, sorry for the pedantry.
Also, just to give a source, 8 US presidents have died during office, which results in a mortality rate of about 18%. That is of course way higher than any other job.
Fair point. I suppose internally I meant “in fact” as a shorthand for, “here’s an interesting thing that complements or counters what we were talking about,” and “I heard” to qualify my (lack of) certainty, without going into detail about where I got the information and quite how trustworthy it might or might not be. (Incidentally, it was on QI.)
Imagine holding the title of “CEO of the healthcare company whose CEO got fucking iced last week”
