The Lemon Law

In the event that either significant other in a relationship of less than 3 months becomes extremely ill, no longer operates as advertised or becomes extremely unreliable…the other significant other reserves the right to immediately terminate the relationship with a clean break and without fear of retaliation.
The girl I was with for less than 2 months became so sick and stopped doing fun things with me, so I enacted the Lemon Law and got a newer model.

The Law of the Lemon 

The Law of the Lemon — The first law and the first proof of the existence of sympathetic magic. This is an especially powerful illustration to use on a person who claims that magic doesn’t exist; that free will can overcome anything, and that magic will not work on them.

Have that person engage all five senses in the visualization of a lemon imagining every quality a lemon possesses. Infuse this memory with pleasant and unpleasant experiences that they associate with lemons. When the visualization becomes firm tell them to bite the lemon. At this point most people will experience a bitter taste in their mouth and they will salivate even though no actual lemon is there.

If the person does not salivate, you have unmasked a more powerful magician than you are.

Mess around and find out.
The first proof of sympathetic magic is The Law of the Lemon: if you engage the five senses in the visualization of a lemon and deeply imagine it’s smell, color, texture, and the sound of your hand sliding over the lemon you will salivate and experience a bitter taste in your mouth if I tell you to bite into the lemon once the visualization is well established.

Mess around and find out.

If you understand this law well, you can even curse someone’s balls and make their babies crosseyed.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
