dingleberries of seriousness
on humans as dried fecal matter that cling to hair around the anus
Most serious people are about as pleasant as dingleberries.
You must have met a human equivalent of hair, shit and toilet paper.
They say really stupid things to control others, things like:
You’re not a serious person.
When you hear these words, the correct response is: Thank you.
To this, you may get the predictable, serious, stock response: That was not meant as a compliment.
It really doesn’t matter what someone ‘means’ when they communicate with you.
Their intentions, their meanings?
Those are their problems, not yours.
How you take any comment is up to you.
Saying thank you to passive twits who think they are dominating you can enrage them.
And to someone who is truly not ‘a serious person’, that kind of absurd attempt at a slight is pretty laughable.
There’s nothing more funny than watching a ‘serious person’ have a temper tantrum when you mock their attempted dominance.
If you look around at all of the most massive problems in the world, they are frequently created by serious people, taking themselves very seriously.
So. Remember to mock the serious.
Especially when it seems least appropriate.
A dingleberry is ‘dried fecal matter clinging to hair around the rim of the anus’.
