“I’m here for you, man…”
We’ve all heard this expression, but like many cliches it’s a bald-faced lie…What the hell is a bald-faced lie, by the way?
I mean, what if I go somewhere else. Then I’m no longer “here for you.” Maybe then I’m “there for you.” But where’s there? I just don’t know.
How bout “it’s like taking candy from a baby”. This means it’s easy…well, have you ever tried to take candy from a baby? No, and you know why? Because babies don’t often have candy. It’s not good for them. Rots their teeth. Maybe you’ve tried to steal candy from a toddler, but that’s a whole different story. Those buggers aren’t letting go of their candy for anything…
Ever had someone tell you “you’ve made your bed, and now you have to lay in it”? Are you scared by this supposed threat?
“Oh, no! I’ve got to nap! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
I don’t know about you, but I could use a little snooze time right about now.
I’m sure you can think of a hundred more of these cliches that just don’t quite work, so I’m going to end this thought and let you.
And while you do that I’m gonna go “pee like a racehorse.”
