Never a good time?
Hi, everyone.
I was watching a sitcom and came across this phrase:" There is never a good time to do something". Could you tell me what it means?
Here is the context:
Joey: (reads the insurance expiration letter) Oh, I can’t believe this! This sucks! When I had insurance I could get hit by a bus or catch on fire, y’know? And it wouldn’t matter. Now I gotta be careful?!
Chandler: I’m sorry man, there’s never a good time to (pauses) stop catching on fire.
Thanks

Chandler has twisted the usual wording almost out of recognition for comic effect. Suppose a man
