As the great Al Murray would say:
"They didnt
think it through."
Another example:
Regarding Jean Paul Sartre (1905-1980):
"Hell is other people"
Al's response:
"Oh yeah? Fact is, Jean Paul Sartre here has made a cardinal error. Thing is, he was French, so his only experience of other people was French people, so little wonder he arrived at this conclusion.
If he had simply got out more and visited, say, Britain, he might have discovered that Hell isn't other people, but is infact France. Think it through, Jean Paul, get a little perspective mate. If he'd said "Hell is French People" he would have caused little argument. Jean Paul also went on about how the universe is a figment of your own imagination, but that's b0llocks becauseif I had imagined the universe, I would have imagined it without France in it - and therefore not old JPS himself the whimpering git.
Think it through! And lets not forget, the French word for 'think' is 'ponce'"

Great book Murray has brought out :rotfl:
