Every day a crook and a fool leave home. When the two meet, someone makes a deal.

A cynical proverb describing the mechanics of exploitation: the world is full of people willing to cheat (crooks) and people ready to be cheated (fools). When they encounter each other, a transaction happens—a scam, a bad bargain, a manipulation—where the crook wins and the fool loses. The saying suggests that such encounters are inevitable, not exceptional, and that vigilance is required to avoid being the fool. It is often invoked to warn against trusting too easily, especially in business, politics, or online interactions.
"Every day a crook and a fool leave home. When the two meet, someone makes a deal." Example: “He thought the crypto investment opportunity was real. His friend quoted the old saying: every day a crook and a fool leave home. When the two meet, someone makes a deal.”

All who celebrate this day are required to tell people to: "Leave your oranges at home, please and thank you!" Whenever the holiday is written the at is always the at symbol: @.

leavehomesafe 

Leavehomesafe is an app whose prototype was invited by CCP and Carrie Lam. And Chinese noob- programmers who are the pets of CCP wrote this garbage app. To use it, open the app, wait a looooooong time to open it, then use the app to scan the QR code that the site provided. It tracks places that the user went and whether others with the Wuhan virus (covid 19) appeared in that place you were there too, then it will report to you and the government and CCP. It seems just like a simple QR codes scanner and a pdf reader that tell ya whether you are vaccinated. However, this fuckin app DOESN'T work on android 7.1.2 and below or IOS 12 and below! That is definitely discriminate citizens who use old phones and can't afford the new one. Also, it uses a lot of storage(more than 200mb) use a lot of ram heating up your cpu, and drains your battery! And whats the worse is even Hong Kong government passed laws and required all citizens install this trash app, then whenever people go to anywhere( such as buying daily goods in shopping mall ), they must use this app to scan the QR code so they would not be denied to visit in. If they had forgot to scan it and headed into those places, they would be arrested and lost 10k hk dollars !And yet, what's the most hell-likely is both of the HK governments and officials doesn't installed this app on their iPhone (not the Huawei one!) Poor and innocent Hong Kong citizens are being tracked where they went by CCP and HK government every day: (
Carrie Lam: All citizens are responsible for fighting against the covid 19, use leavehomesafe and scan the QR code in all sites
My grandma: But my phone is Samsung galaxy S2 and it leavehomesafe doesn't work on android 4.1.2. I just want to just buying food for eke out of living in wet market. So I am being soft-jailed(sorrows)

Remind ya that most Hong Kongers don't know that they could install a custom ROM on their phone to update their system!

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.
