Round and Round

“This is the song that never ends, yes it just goes on and on my friend.  Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue singing it forever just because…This is the song that never ends…”

Do you understand how annoying that song is?!?  I mean not even Puff Daddy/Puffy/Puff/P. Diddy/Diddy (or whatever the hell his name is this year), could remix this song to make it less annoying.  Even still, as annoying as his name changes are, Sean Combs made some of the best remixes like:

That was my JAM!!! 

Wait a minute, could Diddy remix this song and make it a hit?

Let’s see what a Bad Boy remix of the never ending song would sound like:

*You know we had to do a remix right?*…This is the song that never ends…*Bad Boy baby*…yes it goes on and on my friend…*take that take that*…some people started singing it not knowing what it was…*I like that right there*…and they’ll continue singing it forever just because…*uh huh, yeah*

Ain’t this about a monkey’s mayday; that STILL sounds as annoying as Chris Bosh’s alien faces look disturbing!

As irritating as that song is, I would much rather sing the un-remixed version than having a circular conversation with someone where the same thing is said repeatedly, yet somehow you each expect a different result.  Doesn’t that sound like the definition of insanity?

I’m a person that doesn’t back down from many arguments which is to my own detriment when dealing with dimwits who decide to engage in a discussion that gives the eerie feeling of déjà vu. 

Admittedly, I’ve found myself in this circumstance countless times and in the process, have developed a sure fire way to escape this scenario.  It goes a little something like this…

Pick a vague phrase and make it your automatic response to everything they say.  Mine for the week is, “Therein lies the reason why…”

I’ll bet you any sum of your own money it will:

1.       Confuse – they’ll be wondering what in the world you’re talking about;

2.       Amuse – watch how quickly the person gets pissed off;  and

3.       Defuse – in a matter of minutes the person will grow so frustrated they’ll end the conversation.

SHA-ZAM!

Don’t say I never taught you anything.  Go forth and conquer Daniel son.

…deuces!
