"When life gives you lemons, invest in a lemon cannon"
A colleague happened to make the above statement. My English is good but I cannot really make out the meaning...can someone explain please :)
- iamdave 18y agoWell, if the original euphemism (when life gives you lemons, make lemonade) is a way of saying take what you've got and run with it, perhaps this is away of saying 'take what you've got, and pass it on'.
- socmoth 18y agohe is just taking a common phrase and trying to make it funny again. the point is make the best of a bad situation/
- iamdave 18y agoBad situation? Dude..it's free lemons. :)
- PoweredByWill 18y agoThis is the First-person-shooter-era response to how one chooses to deal with Life's difficulties. It begs the question on where one aims the cannon though...
- Hates_ 18y ago"When God gives you lemons, get a new God." - I prefer that version.
- Rod 18y agoMake lemonade, not war!!!

One lemon asks the other, "Daddy, why do they hate us?")
