A rational dissertation on the life advice given to me by old ladies
By Andre Fernandes

"Better a bird in the hand than two in the bush."
WTF? Birds? I can think of exactly zero life situations where this piece of shit advice would be useful. Maybe back in the negative 14th century you may have used pigeons as a valid currency, but nowadays we use printed paper and metal coins. Welcome to the real world, bitch.

"Always wear a coat and a scarf."
A scarf? Are you for real? A motherfucking scarf? Ooh, you knit it yourself? Who. The. Fuck. Cares. No one's worn a scarf since the 1920's. I wanted an Xbox for Christmas, not your handmade piece of shit, whore. You know what? Shut the fuck up, grandma. Everyone laughs at you anyway. I swear, you're just one huge joke to everyone.

"Good things come to those who wait."
Typhoons, tornadoes, monsoons, earthquakes, death, K-Fed's debut album. Don't bother running for shelter, it shall be provided unto ye.

"A penny saved is a penny earned."
I bet you're a cheap tipper. Slut.

"Eat slower, your food isn't going anywhere."
This one I actually hear from lots of people, and I feel I should actually discuss it calmly and with some degree of rationality. First, we are all a product of millions of years of evolution. Our ancestors had to eat quickly, by necessity, before larger carnivores smelled our food and came to steal it from us. The security with which we eat our meals today hasn't yet been assimilated by our biological makeup, so just try and understand the biological baggage that makes me who I am. Second, suck my dick.

"Don't worry. God has a plan for everything."
Please choose here your argument: a) child slavery b) Mark Foley c) serial killers d) cerebral palsy e) eat me
