Some Things are Worse Than Death

Here's another personal favorite IM conversation that Emeric and I had. This one yet again quickly devolves in to absurdity.

Emeric: We may be stuck in traffic but we'll still get there earlier

which is really the ultimate goal ... I'd rather have more time than less

me: quit lying, we both know you always want less

less food

less money

less women

less time

you're always complaining about it

why would I believe you when you say you want more time at the cabin

Emeric: Um ... I think you've misunderstood me

In a very sitcomish fashion

besides .... more IS less

me: damn the commutative property

but wait...

does it apply to metaphors?

Emeric: In the sense I used it, it was clearly NOT A METAPHOR

me: the question is are metaphors conserved or observable

since you clearly can't observe a metaphor, I am going to go with a conserved property

which means they would be commutative

amazing

Emeric: That's the best-worst logic I have ever heard

me: (that is all really funny if you know quantum mechanics)

I'd try to explain it but you'd probably hunt me down and kill me

Emeric: Nah, I'd just make you learn warhammer

I apologize if I am still the only person who gets my joke in the middle about metaphors being conserved and not observable. It really is only funny if you know quantum mechanics. But I still find it hilarious. The joke at the end is that I would learn and play warhammer with Emeric if he would learn vector calculus. This originated back in high school. To this day I don't know how to play warhammer, and Emeric knows nothing of vector calculus. Some fates are indeed worse than death.
