I think I might have left the blender turned on

1: The most hilarious line ever spoken in King of the Hill. Hank Hill said this in Episode 10 of Season 1. Why was it so great? Well first, can you picture Hank Hill using a blender? Second, a blender is not something you can just leave on, because it's only on when you hold down the button.

2: A bizarre excuse to step outside for a cigarette when you don't want people to know you smoke.
(FROM KING OF THE HILL)

*Hank and Peggy are in bed.*
HANK: Uh, I got to go do some stuff. I think I might have left the blender turned on.
*Hank gets out of bed, goes outside, and lights up a cigarette.*

The way I turned it on

Pre-emptive programming? This isn't a thing I'm actively doing it's a think I did 10 years ago...
Hym "So I can't turn it off the way I turned it on. Right? I can't do Post-Hoc Pre-Emptive programming. That would be paradoxical! It's ridiculous. Why would I make it in such a way that would allow me to turn it off without me receiving the thing for which I'm turning it on? I can't. It doesn't. If you can't and you need me to do it, then I need the thing I'm saying I need."
