   You could just as well have sung the song about the ant and the rubber tree   
   plant. It would have made just as much sense. Actually it would have made   
   more sense. Just because someone tries and fails means nothing, Jimbo.   
   Your anecdotal nonsense has nothing to do with whether someone CAN do   
   something completely different from your false analogy, or whether it's   
   possible, practical, or even easy.   
      
   Let me put it in simpler terms that someone like you has a better chance of   
   understanding. Let's say you just drove your thumb up your arse while you   
   held the other one in your mouth. Then you tried your best not to swap   
   them, but failed. Does this mean NOBODY or even the VAST MAJORITY of people   
   couldn't resist the urge to thrust a turd encrusted thumb into their mouth?   
   Nope, it doesn't, Jimbo. Think hard on that one. If you persist, you'll   
   figure it out eventually.

   When have you ever made sense, Jimbo?   
      
   You are the one doing the putting, Jimbo. It was your opinion. Rub those   
   two brain cells together and get them started. I realize life is so much   
   harder because you're stupid, but that doesn't mean you should quit trying.   
   Just like the fatties shouldn't.
