Alas, fine blog.
Another day gone by, another rant to tell.

Today's topic?
Stupid sayings.
Yes I know what you're thinking, what a random topic.
But I'll inform you now,
It's not random, it's totally...un-random?

In a casual conversation today,
we somehow got onto the topic of relationships.
Of course, I shared my opinion
And said something along the lines of, "I'm so over trying with boys,"
To which my friend replied, "There are plently of fish in the sea,"

Has anyone really ever thought about that saying?
Sure, we've all had our moments where we've blurted it out
In an awkward moment where a guy has confessed his love for your best friend.
But other then that? When at all, it is appropriate for conversation?

Let's break it down, and try and see what it means.

There are plently of fish in the sea

The word "plently", meaning lots of or large amounts of.
The word "fish", meaning aquatic vertebrate that lives within water.
The word "sea", meaning large quanity of water in one specific area.

So applying these new definitions, we can tranform the saying into this.

There are large amounts of aquatic vertebrate in large quanities of water.

I'm just messing with you.
To anyone that ever says (the above) and are serious
"Congratulations, you just won Douche-bag of the year.
Here's a congratulation punch in the face. Enjoy!"

Let's get down the business.
This saying really does bother me, I mean.
The countless times people have tried to reassure me using this line.
What an absolute fail.

Imagine this situation.
You just broke up with your boyfriend.
You turn to a friend for comfort.
And they reply with, "Well, there are plenty of fish in the sea,"
You look at them for a moment, and then punch that mofo in the face!
Alright, no. You wouldn't do that.
Stabbing them in the eye seems much more appropriate.

Just saying that line makes no sense.
Alright, there are plently of other boys out there?
If one doesn't want me, what are the chances of someone else wanting me?

Plently of fish in the sea?
40% of them are the same sex as you.
20% are probably too old or too young.
Another 30% are too needy,tooly or homosexual.


That leaves only 10% that may be just right.
Chances of finding that 10% tomorrow?

Priceless.
