The Unified Theory of Bullshit


I should have a PhD. in this stuff. I'll tell you why. I've developed a theory that explains how I see the world. It's called The Unified Theory of Bullshit. It sounds complicated, but it's not. Basically, anything that I don't approve of is bullshit. Since I'm a cat, the world revolves around me. If I don't like something, then it's bullshit and can be safely ignored. I consider lots of things to be bullshit; I'll give you some examples:

  1. Not getting my neck scratched when exactly I want? Bullshit.


  2. Not being fed according to my precise internal clock? Bullshit.


  3. Commenting on my perceived girth? Insensitive bullshit. I am strong and healthy. Not obese.


  4. Not cleaning my eyes out at precisely 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.? Bullshit.


  5. Not giving me my petroleum jelly snacks anymore because the vet says it's not good for me? Bullshit. Who is the expert on me? That's right. ME.


  6. My favorite treats are Greenies and they need to be on hand at all times. If they're not? Bullshit.


  7. If I am getting sick of one flavor of Greenies and you don't immediately change to another flavor? Bullshit. You must be attuned to my every wish and desire.


  8. Paying attention to another cat and not me? That's total bullshit.


  9. Not changing the litter box when I demand you to? That's not only bullshit for me, but problems for you. I can't help it if I have the bladder of an Arabian racehorse. You need to buy a stronger scooper. Period. Cheap plastic ones break under the weight of my masculine waste. Metal works better. (*Editors note: Apologies for the uncouth details).


  10. Reality, the very fabric of our existence which allows us to function in a cruel and random universe? You guessed it, bullshit. If reality doesn't conform to my exact wishes, then life itself is indeed bullshit.

I hope that clears things up. I tend to use the phrase bullshit quite a bit and didn't want to confuse my audience. Now you understand why I say it so much. If you don't understand, then I will just say that you are bullshit.
