That was an observation that a friend of mine recently made. We were talking about our brothers, then there was a silence, and then suddenly he outs with that. What can it mean? Was he confusing it with the proverb that blood is thicker than water? Was he just feeling in the mood for some science? I pretty much cracked up when he said it, and he changed the subject. Weird.
Do any of your friends ever make comepletely off-the-wall or painfully obvious observations? I feel the need to know if John has any kindred spirits out there.
It could be a comedic ending to a >possibly?< serious discussion about brothers. The only time I hear the old proverb is when there’s a long discussion about family vs. friends, and which side you should be on/want to be on/want to do things with/want to escape but can’t.
assuming you were having a non-to-great talk about brothers he could have just been putting a twist on “blood is thicker then water, and it stinks.” Ok Ok i know i added that in, but it was the first thing that popped into my mind since he switched blood with lead.
painfully obvious, Lead is thicker and it sicks. Comedy transition of Blood is thicker >so your bound and feel it your duty to stick to family< and sometimes it stinks >especially when it doesn’t work the way you want it too<.
Of course I could be wrong with the stinks thing, but i think he was just trying to end the discussion on a light note. That or he’s totally confused with the saying.
my mother and I were driving the other day and she said, Oh look, it’s the north star!
I said jokingly-no it isn’t!
she said - Sure it is! Look how bright it is!
I said - Mom, it’s in the West!
she paused for a second, then thoughtfully said,
** Well, it’s North to places that are South of us. **
I busted a gut laughing…
Many years back, our gang was playing a board game, Monopoly I think. After being backed into a jam, one of the players blurted out, “GOD,SHIT,MAN”. To this day that phrase is know as ‘Margies theory of evolution’.
It was damn funny to us at the time, of course we were stoned.
For what it’s worth…
