And you might get a sharp short shock.
Isn’t that the proper order? I think you got a little teakettle over ass with that one ![]()
I’ve always heard it “don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time”.
Anyway, that’s the short and the long of it.
(shout out to my dad, RIP, for the ass over teakettle thing)
I think what happened was, you reversed the syntax along with the binomial, so it still made sense, in the ordinary sense.
Sense making stop!
(I know that last doesn’t really count as a binomial-- feel free not to include it in any future list)
I hope you’re one who can forget and forgive.
Eh, I’m not going to make a lot of fury and sound over it.
We can always resort to error and trial to determine the correct order of things.
I’ll need to consult my kin and kith before I can go along with that.
It’s all part of the normal pull and push of a thread like this.
We don’t judge harshly here. If it’s close enough, like hand grenades and horseshoes, it’s all good.
I don’t think you know your elbow from your ass
Or a hole in the ground from your ass!
When shove comes to push, you know I’m right.
Stop fighting now! Everyone get back to your side of the Dixon-Mason Line.
