Doing it backwards. Walking up the downslide.



I was just pondering on the phrase "what you don't know can't hurt you" and just how extraordinarily false that is. Not only is it false, but believing such a thing can be quite harmful.

Thoughts? Anyone else have some fallacious sayings to ponder on?

"The bigger they are, the harder they fall."

They do not usually fall. They just get increasingly pissed off.

I think it's far more often "Out of sight, out of mind."

I would change it to:
"The bigger they are, the more important the Collateral Ligament is."

Personally, I prefer the Ninja Turtles version:

The bigger they are, the more bones they break.

"Da, da-da-da-da..." Sorry, had to finish the phrase.

"Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than a master of one" should be amended with "Unless you are looking for employment."
