Joke of the week
Cliches and Conundrums Part II
“Nice Guys Finish Last”
Not true. Studies have shown that, on average, nice guys finish third in a field of six. Actually, short guys finish last. By the way, in medieval times it was widely believed that nice guys finished twenty-sixth. You can see how limited those people were.
“If You’ve Seen One, You’ve Seen Them All”
Do we even have to talk about this one? This should be obvious. If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen … one. If you’ve seen them all, *then* you’ve seen them all. I don’t even understand how this one got started.
“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.
“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.
