Thread Name: BS: On Bullshit
Subject: RE: BS: On Bullshit
///If you are trying to convince someone you are not sleeping with his daughter, you are probably telling him lies provided you are sleeping with his daughter. But someone in the hospital telling you they feel like they've been hit by a ten ton weight is describing how bad they feel. No BS about it. BS would be your friend in the hospital asking you for an ice cream cone and telling you it would be healthy for them. Might be true, might not be true. What they really want is for you to get 'em an ice cream cone.///
Sorry but I borrowed that example from Frankfurt's book except he has the woman say that she felt she as though she had been run over by a truck.
