My aesthetic evaluation of indoors versus outdoors
Presented aphoristically
This is my aesthetic evaluation of indoors versus outdoors presented in ten aphorisms.
ONE: Some people call it the ocean. I call it the fish toilet.
TWO: Many people say flat landscapes are ugly. The ocean is flat.
THREE: I would never pour sand directly on my crotch. I go to the beach for that.
FOUR: I don’t think people really like camping. I think they like complaining about how bad camping was after they return.
FIVE: Well, if you’re comparing it to being with people, then sure, camping is better.
SIX: Humans invented vacuum cleaners to suck up the outside that gets inside.
SEVEN: No one ever had to invent a specific tool to clean the indoors that gets outdoors.
EIGHT: The outdoors has more dirt and bugs than any vacuum cleaner could possibly clean. Inside is your fragile port in a filthy storm.
NINE: You call it agoraphobia. I call it ancestor appreciation. My ancestors suffered so I could watch TV in air conditioning.
TEN: I can see your outdoors from my indoors on my TV whenever I want, but if you can see my indoors on your TV, I’m calling the cops.
If you like my work or just want to keep an eye on me because you hate me, please follow me. That’s right, I’m inviting you to stalk me. If you have “subversive” or “heretical” tendencies please clap and comment so the algorithm shows this article to more people, or share it on social networks.
