You might be wondering why did I suddenly watch serials, but well, I figured I couldn't play Candy Train all day. It's this exciting game on www.popcap.com, if you don't try it you are seriously missing out on a lot. Childhood is certainly some exciting period of your life, and the allure of candy is just irresistable. So yup, play Candy Train whenever possible! Damn fun.
Back to the point - serials are an important part of life because it is life. Like your typical dramatic soap opera you get the husband and wife having problems in their marriage because *gasp* the husband seems to be having this extramarital affair!
Okay don't we know how the script goes. (translated)
Wife - You have an affair!
Man - No I don't!
Wife - Yes you do!
Man - No I don't!
Wife - Yes you do!
Man - No I don't!
Wife - Yes you do!
Man - ARGH I'm not going to argue with you!
Wife - That's because you HAVE an affair!
Man - I don't know what to say! I DO NOT HAVE AN AFFAIR.
Wife - YES YOU HAVE A WOMAN OUTSIDE (你外面有女人）
Man - I really don't!!
Wife - YES YOU DO!! Then why did that woman bring you home last night?
Man - She's my colleague. There's nothing between us!
Wife - Don't lie! You have a tryst with her!
Man - I REALLY DON'T!
Wife - YES YOU DO!!
Man - How many times you want me to tell you that she's just my subordinate/colleague?
Wife - THEN WHY DID YOU COME BACK DRUNK LAST NIGHT WITH HER?
Man - What has that got to do with anything?
Wife - IT MEANS YOU HAVE AN AFFAIR! (wth)
Man - NO I REALLY DON'T!!
Wife - YES YOU DO!
Man - NO I REALLY DON'T!! How many times you want me to tell you?
Wife - I DON'T CARE, I DON'T CARE!! YOU HAVE AN AFFAIR!
(The wife always gets the last word before the man storms out. We all know how it goes after conditioning ourselves to countless serials.)
Kenneth Low would term this a roundabout argument. Both fallacious and pointless, it is highly possible that the woman's at fault (in the current serial she is) because she simply assumes a hell lot and then short cuts the thought process by irrationally assuaulting the man. I say that not because I am of the male gender, but because it's true and the serial says so too.
Anyway, there are things to analyse despite we all know that the argument arises because of the assuming woman. Although it's mainly her fault, I'd say mathematically that it is only 69% her fault. The figure is not there because I like it, but rather it's been mathematically proven. (Proof is too long so I won't bother putting it here, it'll bore you to death.)
Hence, where did the other 31% fault of the male gender go to? TCS discovers the truth.
1) He shouldn't have come back drunk.
Despite R-OH looking very attractive after losing his job, one cannot succumb to the tempations of alcohol so easily. Alcohols potentially are able to damage the body, especially if they get oxidised! Then wth! Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids will be abound in the body! The invasion is so going to give him heart attack man. Chemistry students or not, you should know that alcohols harm the body and that's that. I can't imagine having that whole load of shit in my body. But worse, I can't imagine having that whole load of shit to study.
Right before I rant I'd better conclude. Alcohols are bad. Especially when it undergoes oxidation (because it means Chemistry students have to mug more as well tmd.)
2) He shouldn't have said "there's nothing between us".
Being an utter failure at GP, let's not delve into semantics and whatnot. Let's just take this at face value and see what we can tell out of it. Sounds innocent enough? Hell no. On first glance, people would think that it means nothing is going on between this certain male and a female - but taking literal meaning..
IT MEANS THAT THEY ARE DAMN CLOSE. Just think. If there are two bodies and nothing between them.. it means they would have to be touching each other. Nothing, like zero, nada, zilch. Not even any bloody oxygen atoms, it's really nothing. You don't even get a vacuum because a vacuum is something. You get total, effective collisions of two bodies. Nothing between us. No, nothing, nothing between us.
Next time you say "there's nothing between us", just take a moment to think of the literal meaning. Then retract your statement.
3) He shouldn't have mentioned "subordinate".
Because somehow shows like to revolve around boss-subordinate relationships. It's bloody common to see a boss having a relationship with those jokers beneath him, though somehow it doesn't work the same way if the boss is female. Trust me, watch your serials and you'll see that I'm right. Female boss gives no scandals (though lots of PMS). Male boss means affair with secretary. Or some minion whom he refuses to order around.
Thus in order not to seem like a scandalous fag, he should have just forgotten mentioning that he's the boss, because common perception (though sometimes misconception) is that bosses always have affairs. Being subordinate means you get a chance to be scandal fodder. Telling your wife that is suicide.
Yup I learn a lot watching serials. So this is kind of an advertisement but do tune in to watch "大男人，小男人" during weekdays, 9pm at Channel 8. Sorry but I think this is coming in kinda late.. last four episodes this week. Still, all the more you shouldn't miss it!
Go watch it! And don't ever use "there's nothing between us" again!
Friendly advice from a friendly source.
