Things That Are Technically True But You Shouldn't Say Out Loud

You have feces inside you.

If all the virgins in the world were laid end to end, there wouldn’t be any more.

Everything is an illusion. The brain is edging hallucination in order to maintain the illusion.

I saw a stand-up comic a while back who said something like “when you kiss someone, you’re touching them with the top end of a long tube, the bottom five feet of which is filled with shit.”

About 262 somebodies every night, by my count.

Dang, you must be the most prolific serial killer of all time.

Everyone dies from the exact same thing – anoxia.

Guaranteed to make you a big hit at parties.

Forty thousand men and women every day
Another forty thousand coming every day
Don’t fear the reaper

Your number seems a bit low.

Most “Caucasians” are not Caucasian. That includes Semitic people.

Actually, we are all black, just some of us are darker than others

For fuck’s sake, what is it with me and thousands lately? You’re right, it’s 262,000.

7B people, global average life expectancy of 73.2 years (26,736 days). 7B/26,736 = 261,819. Turns out BOC’s number is a bit low.

It depends on what the lyrics mean.

If you think they mean forty thousand people die every day, then the figure is too low.

But if you think they’re saying forty thousand people commit suicide every day (which seems more in context with the song) then the figure is far too high. The actual figure is around two thousand people commit suicide per day.

Maybe 40,000 is all the Reaper can personally handle, and he outsources the others?

Time marches on!

:slight_smile:

It was probably closer to the actual number in 1976. But if I sing along,

“two hundred sixty thousand every day
another couple hundred coming every day”

can be made to fit the meter. But I’m an originalist when it come to lyrics.

JAQ: Virgil Cane is my name. I am woman, hear me roar!

eta: Don’t forget the classic BOC song Me 262,000

I started using a CPAP after a sleep test found that I stopped breathing for up to 130 seconds. That’ll scare all the feces out of you.

I like Dorothy Parker’s original better:

“If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised”

Not sure which definition of Caucasian you’re using the scare quotes for there, but the racial classification explicitly included Semitic as a Caucasoid subtype.

Not only shouldn’t you say this out loud, but I don’t even dare type it:

“You should not use the word n****r.”

I was pointing out the difference between the bogus use of Caucasian to mean “White” and the original meaning of “people from the Caucasus region”.

And to go along with that, the ‘knee’ is analogous to our wrist joint.

You seem to be getting fatter.
