  Dang… logic upsets you that badly?

  I guess it’s true what Mark Twain said. It’s easier to fool a man than to convince him he’s been fooled.

    It’s easier to fool a man than to convince him he’s been fooled.

    And it’s easier to believe an idiom is true if you believe someone famous said it. I think Wayne Gretzky came up with that one. Maybe it was Micheal Scott.

      It actually doesn’t matter who said it.

      But of course you’re going to try and deny it’s true because it applies to you, ironically further proving its legitimacy.

        I hope you actually do, because I would love to know you’ll never be able to throw stupid mis-attributed quotes at me again. God forbid we have any original thoughts anymore.
