Dick-idiom # 30 - PHILOSOPHY

"Dick-idioms" are little philosophical gems I have penned over the years. The numbering sequence has no relationship to importance, or pecking order; it's just my way to identify them.

 DICK-IDIOM #30
 
 
PHILOSOPHY
 
 
“It’s much easier
to talk about
turning the other cheek,
 
when
 
you’ve never had
the shit
smacked out of you.”

Never turned the other cheek, except to my father's belt. As a result, I've never had the shit smacked out of me.

It depends on who is doing the smacking. The ones who deny ever getting smacked are usually the smacked. Great humor in this, Dick.

I never was much of an admirer of turning the other cheek. Hell with that.
