"The Real Truth" Part II
"THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THEY USED TO"
Actually they do make 'em like they used to, they just
don't sell 'em anymore. They make 'em, and then they
keep 'em in hiding.
"TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT"
Well, it just so happens that two wrongs do make a right.
Not only that, but as the number of wrongs increases, the
whole thing goes up exponentially. So that while two
wrongs make one right, and four wrongs make two rights,
it actually takes sixteen wrongs to make three rights, and
256 wrongs to make four rights. It seems to me that anyone
who is stringing together 256 wrongs needs counseling,
not mathematics.
"IF IT'S NOT ONE THING, IT'S ANOTHER"
No, not always. Sometimes if it's not one thing, not only is
it not another, but it turns out to be something else entirely
that gives you a "Gottcha."
"THINGS HAVE TO GET BETTER, THEY CAN'T GET ANY WORSE"
This is an example of truly faulty logic. Just because
things can't get any worse, is no reason to believe they have
to get better. They might just stay the same. And, by the way,
who says things can't get any worse? For many people, things
get worse and worse and worse and worse.
"NOBODY EVER SAID THAT LIFE WAS FAIR"
I specifically remember as I was growing up at least twelve
different people telling me life was fair. One person put it
this way: "Life, you will find, is fair." Oddly enough, all twelve
of those people died before the age of twenty-four.
"IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO"
Sounds good, but simple reasoning will reveal that actually
it takes only one to tango. It does take two to tango together,
maybe. But one person is certainly capable of tangoing on
his own. He just might look a little silly.
"WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT YOU"
Why don't we just ask Julius Caesar and John F. Kennedy
about this one?
"LIFE IS SHORT"
Sorry. Life is not short, it's just that everything else lasts so
long... mountains, rivers, stars, planets -makes life seems
short. Actually life lasts just the right amount of time. Until
you die. Death, on the other hand... can be very, very short.
" NEVER TAKE *YES* FOR AN ANSWER "
Are you married ?
