Critical Analysis of the Fun’s Fun Syndrome


Fun’s fun ‘till someone loses an eye: TRUE. It seems reasonable fun would stop after sudden eye loss. Not to say happy times wouldn’t return, but fun would definitely stop in the period just after retinal impalement. At least for the victim, other people may or may not continue having fun, depending if they now have to drive him/her to hospital.

Don’t swim for ½ hour after eating: Depends on what you eat, and whether you can swim.

Your face will freeze that way: FALSE. There is no empirical evidence to suggest this is true, however some people have it done surgically.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste: TRUE. Many can be easily controlled and made to perform important calculations.

Wear clean underwear in case you get hit by a bus: FALSE. Either way, they’re dirty now.

The early bird catches the worm: This implies the early worm gets eaten. So the advantage of being early is relative, like everything else.

Don’t talk to strangers: Was a hit for Rick Springfield in 1982.

Rick Springfield: Was not hit by a bus in 1982, although he should have been.

I was born in 1982 at the exact moment that Ricky McSpringfield wasn't hit by a bus. Scary shit.

What the fuck are you playing at?! Are you trying to get people killed? Of all the inconsiderate...It's and hour after eating! NO SWIMMING AN HOUR AFTER EATING. Neglegent bastard.

i think the 2nd half of the swiming advice rules out any swiming/eating situations. i mean, i can swim with a cramp far better than someone who can't swim at all.

And it's utter bullshit too. I used to eat and swim AT THE SAME TIME.

Exile, it really depends where the cramp is, don't you think?

SkookumJoe said...

yes exile, non-swimmers should wait longer.

exile said...

exo- man, we start talk'n about cramps and you get all cranky... hmmmm...

skook- i dont' think i'm the only one on this, but isn't it funny as all get out to see a grown adult who can't swim? they look like someone shoved a cat in a toilet!

Ghetto Photo Girl said...

Cramps don't make me cranky. Grown adults who can't swim make me cranky. I mean really, you'll just naturally float, so stop fighting the water!!

exile said...

exo- i still cant' belive there are people who can't swim, i mean, how the fuck do you go through life not knowing these things?

Amanda said...

it's easy, not everyone had access to a swimming pool growing up, therefore can't swim.

SkookumJoe said...

only women float exoterica. I sink like Flipper with a bullet wound.

8 comments about swimming...you people are hard to predict.

Ghetto Photo Girl said...

Flipper wouldn't sink if he was shot. He'd attract sharks from miles around and they'd devour him before he had a chance to gurgle. Duh, Joe.

Amanda, I take for granted that everyone has access to some type of body of water. And also that their parents, like my parents, would just throw them in it and watch them float.

That's honestly how I learned to swim.
