"And whosoever shall say, Thou Fool, shall be in danger of hell fire" -- Matthew 5:22
So that's the Buddha fucked then, Yahweh always wins, he's just got the baddest moves.
I genuinely love this stuff: "even as the spoon (does not understand) the flavour of the soup" - if you say the most inane things - "The tree always (knows) where his leaves fall" with enough gravitas, tone and authority you can lend the obvious a profundity that makes you sound like you have just unravelled the deepest mysteries of the universe.
The rules are simple, pick something banal, the more banal the better, anything will do, the content is unimportnant it just needs to be imbued with some vagueness, some uncertainty as to what you are saying - "The cloud knows not where he is going, nor will he get there" - say it with complete authority, say it very very slowly, almost comically so, putting long pauses between odd couplings of words and place emphasis on where you would not expect emphasis:
The cloud . . .
Knows not W_h_e_r_e (really drag this word out). . .
he ? is going . . . (try and make 'he' sound like a question in it's own right)
Nor . . .
. . .
Will he get there. (always say the final word very very quietly, almost whisper it)
leave another long pause, scan around your audience looking them in eye, then finish the whole thing with a wry, knowing smile and then turn and walk away from your audience ignoring their questions.
