I Pointed Out #3

"That's like trying to stuff twenty pounds of shit into a ten-pound bag," he said.

I pointed out that a ten-pound bag could easily fit twenty pounds of shit in it, since shit has a far greater volume-to-mass ratio than any of your common heavy-duty bagging materials. A canvas or burlap bag that weighed ten pounds would be enormous.

Another charmingly off-color, folksy proverb bites the dust before the keen application of clear-eyed fact.
