Why Marry

Why everyone should Marry !
(alternatively titled: Why they should ban Bacardi Stingers)

Has anyone ever felt this way… You are taking your time off. You are not taxing your mind, when suddenly, you have this profound thought impromptu…catching you off guard, making you wonder, “now, why did I think of that NOW ?”. When you are seriously reflecting on something, you draw up a blank. But when you are weaving corners in your bike at 60K, or just when this pretty girl sits next to your coffee table and gives you a smile, or when you are in the midst of your morning jog........,when a simple word, an event, or a landscape can start off this chain of thoughts...Is it everyone, or is it just me ?

Anyway,....Had such a moment recently, Not a heavy thought,. but hardly the one that I expect to have when I am helplessly inebriated and especially when you are having music playing out so loud that you can hardly hear yourself think.

There is this place “Diesel” nearby, not Hip-Hop and happening, but a great place to hang out with friends even so. So, there we were, and I was insisting my friend to tie a knot soon, jus like the rest of our friends had, when he said

“Oh please, every rule has an exception…”

which started off this,…..this weird chain of thoughts; enthymemes have always confused me…. No, actually, enthymemes have also confused me.

“Every rule has an exception”. But this argument cannot have an exception, Because if this argument has an exception, it would contradict, NOT the argument but the idea conveyed in the argument.

Let me put it this way, if the statement is true, then it means that this statement also has an exception. Which, if true, is equivalent to saying no rule has an exception.

Now if that conclusion is true, it means that the premise which spawned this should also be; but if the premise is, then the conclusion cannot be.

So the assumption that the premise is true is not valid, and therefore I told my friend “Everyone should marry”. Not the reasoning, but just the conclusion.

Some of my friends say, not making sense is my USP, but this once happens to be an exception, not because this makes sense, but this is after 3 rounds of Stingers; so if I am not making sense, you know why…..

PS: All those out there who do not think murder is a sin, I am available on February the 30th.
