Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Most people don't. But do you think that keeps them from piling on their shinola, layer by layer, and then polishing it, and buffing it until it gleams - at least in their own eyes? " A real piece of work, if'n I don't say so myself, and... insightful too! " How can you tell if a person knows their own shit from shinola? Just ask them, but not in a politically correct way, " Sir, do you know what you're talking about? " , but in a politically INCORRECT way, " Sir, you're full of shit - in fact, you don't know shit from shinola! " Then, watch their reaction, as it always comes - quickly - so if you don't like being punched out or verbally abused, you best stand back a bit. Their reaction is everything, it explains everything, except to themselves. When they start explaining themselves - as they are usually compelled to do - they reveal the depth of their confusion. It's simply one of the Laws of the Cartoon World - all cartoon characters, whose thought bubbles appear out of nowhere, MUST, under all circumstances, explain their " reasoning " behind their bubbled utterance. In fact, any cartoon character that has the " wherewithal " to resist that overwhelming push-from-the-rear to explain, runs the real risk of being extincted from the funny pages. (But, the " Laws " being what they are, this can't happen, never happens, except with the much more rare SuperHeroes, who generally NEVER explain themselves - they don't have to, being Laws unto themselves, thus are never extincted; that, being just a bit of Cartoon Justice.) So, do YOU know shit from shinola? Speak up, sir, we can't hear you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
