can someone help to explain this quote to me? thanks.

It means when a person follows his ego he usually forgo his ratio hence being called a fool or acting stupidly. But that person would usually ignore his stupidity just for the sake of satisfying his ego. Hence anesthetic.

Plastic Bag SG

It means someone is trying hard to sound really profound.

a good example is something like this as shown below

"My poo is also solid......

Gary: He said to me at the lift lobby 90% of the exact words - ”Mr Tan,if you walk out of here tomorrow,you might get killed.You might meet with a mysterious accident,you might disappear and nobody will know what happened to you! Mr Tan, some things and people in this country you cannot offend! Some people are above all things! You better make sure you know this! Mr Tan,we can arrange for things to happen to you.You understand or not!”
FUCK THEM"

Nice quote. lol

skythewood SG

i try ah. this quote relies on two facts

fact: being stupid is painful.

fact: anesthetic is medical stuff that kills pain

hence, having ego will lessen the pain of being stupid.

Don't think it is really degoratory, but people might take offence at being called stupid.

edifice ===> big structure

The fan will blow away the shit

Before it can ever be hit

Perhaps you are sitting on a bed pan

And turn on the suction fan

Sorry 4 the late response - am taking a break from watching live tennis telecast to slot in my reply now:

I stated: "So I'll understand u mean diarrhoea (to show u the correct spelling).

You stated: "wow, you can understand my mispelled diarrhoea".

Please dont take word/words out of my sentence - what happened to the word mean?

Btw, if I am not wrong, mispelled (written by u) should be written as misspelled/misspelt.

Cheers - hope u can join in to continue watching the live tennis currently on scv ch 22. Nadal just won over Lapentti in 2 sets.
