“If you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be a horrible warning.” — Catherine Aird. Crime Fiction Writer.
At first glance this made me laugh, then I had an a-ha moment. Several of them.
As in a-ha this is the code of the jackass.
A-ha I have met this person.
A-ha I have dated someone like you but I didn’t see the warning because I gave you the benefit of the doubt … I hadn’t seen He’s Just Not That Into You, however now I wouldn’t give you the time of day.
A-ha this is what happens when you don’t follow the instruction booklet.
A-ha I have seen you at the DMV office.
A-ha I have met you at the personnel office of the school district when I used to be a substitute teacher. You were the supervisor.
A-ha this is the Telenovela code.
A-ha most politicians end up being the warning.
A-ha people like this exist in every dysfunctional family.
A-ha.
