It’s certainly more accurate!
When an eel bites your leg and it hurts 'til you beg, that’s a moray.
(I can’t take credit for this.)
Put you hand in the crack and you won’t get it back, that a mooooray!
(I can’t take credit either)
When an eel opens wide and there’s more jaws inside, that’s a moray.
When a grid’s misaligned with another behind, that’s a Moiré.
When so much glacial till piles up it makes a hill, that’s a morraine.
When they play one more song but you say the word wrong, that’s encore!
When you swim in the sea
and an eel bites your knee
That’s a moray
When your head

Fool me once…no, wait, it didn’t even work the first time.
That was LITERALLY the exact same argument they made about abortion. These dipshits…
Folks not being honest* by creating a situation where guys are expecting a date and being given projects instead is why I’m putting this here. As comedian Nicole Byer pointed out on Jimmy Kimmel Live, they’re taking advantage of people who now know exactly where they live. What could go wrong?
*Some could be stating their intentions up front, it’s not clear how many fall into the bait-and-switch category.
I suspect that many want to avoid making it look too transactional. The optics of “If you fix my sink, then we can go on a date.” are not necessarily what everyone intends.
