In the story, someone faces a life-threatening situation, highlighting how dangerous the situation was by saying, "He nearly died." This emphasizes the seriousness of the incident and the potential consequences involved. The character's words suggest that the person involved took reckless actions, leading to the near-fatal outcome.

Mickey responds to the situation with a bit of sarcasm, remarking, "Yeah, because he's a fool," implying that the person's mistake or foolishness contributed to the danger. He humorously adds that "there's no known cure for that," indicating that foolishness or reckless behavior is not something that can easily be fixed or treated, underscoring the importance of caution and wisdom.
