Mind over matter
My friend, his sisters, their husbands and children, and their 80-year-old father, had their summer vacation in Florida. They trooped to the Universal Studios theme park for their adrenaline thrills. First they did the Back to the Future virtual reality ride, in which the course is a series of images on a screen. Everyone enjoyed that.
Next they did The Mummy, an intense rollercoaster ride that made them feel like their stomachs were about to come out of their noses. At the end of it everyone was nauseous, dizzy, throwing up, or all of the above. Everyone but the 80-year-old patriarch. He looked upon his clan and scoffed, “What’s the problem? It’s only virtual reality! It’s just images on a screen!”
They decided not to tell him that the rollercoaster was real.

“They decided not to tell him that the rollercoaster was real.”
You, your friend, his sisters, their husbands and children are all stupid fools who are actually suspended in nutrient tanks with tubes and wires sticking out of them. The old man is Morpheus.
