MMeM, Vol. 4 Issue 17 – Conundrum

So I’m outside one day in the heat. I don’t remember where I was but I start fanning myself with a paper or something.

This guy comes up to me and says, “You know, they did a study that says that you actually create more heat by fanning yourself that you save by cooling yourself off with the fanning”.

…I think to myself:

“Hmm! I’ll bet the proprietors over at handfans4less.com don’t appreciate this information!”

Anyway, back to the moment at hand. What in the hell am I supposed to do with this information? Do I keep fanning in spite of the edict this dude just laid down on me?

By continuing to fan myself am I saying, “I don’t believe you” or “I am more efficient at fanning” or “You’re annoying”, or what?

Or, my other option is to put my hand fan down and sweat. Thus, choosing instead to put trust in this guy’s data that if I sit and sweat here for a while I will cool down faster than if I was fanning myself.

Why would someone say something like that to someone? They HAVE to know that they are putting you in a cryptic conundrum!

HOW IN THE HELL DO THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO ME?
