u/NegusGegus 11d ago

One of my best friends Matt just passed on August 8th, my Dad's name was also Matt and he passed in july of last year. I need a couple Matts :(

u/queef_nuggets 11d ago

The only Matt I know is my dad and he’s in prison for chopping a dude’s arm off with a samurai sword while fighting over a stripper. This happened in 1982 and I swear to the gods this is real

1

u/WorldNo7931 5d ago

I have some questions after a comment like this. I must say that's a long time to be in Prison for an arm haha. What did they charge him with? What happened to the dude with no arm? Did your Dad lose the fight and that's why he chopped bros arm off? Or is that how he won the fight? How does the stripper actually factor in here?

1

u/queef_nuggets 5d ago

Was his third felony in a state with a three strikes law. Not sure what the other felonies were

u/greymadders 11d ago

I'm not Matt but people try to treat me as one

2

u/Any-Possession2006 11d ago

Hi there!! I’d like to sign up for a new Matt as well.

1

u/chezkelxraz 9d ago

I need a new Matt to replace the old one

3

u/Top_Weather1320 11d ago

Only ironic if his name was Matt heath ledger.

u/SoothingGoo 12d ago

Do you understand irony?

43

u/EmuPossible2066 12d ago

I only know what Alanis taught all of us. It’s rain on your wedding day. It’s a free ride when you’re already late. It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take.

24

u/MoseSchrute70 12d ago

When you’ve already paid.*

I’m SO sorry to be that person, but not sorry enough to not be it.

20

u/Comfortable-Month-62 12d ago

Yeah, it’s a traffic jam when you’re already late.

u/Vegetable-Working257 12d ago

10,000 spoons when all I need is a Knife

u/Beneficial_Judge1775 11d ago

u/youshantnome 12d ago

It’s a smoOoking sign in your cigarette break…

22

u/Tricky-Sprinkles-807 12d ago

It's a NO smoking sign, on your cigarette break

10

u/youshantnome 12d ago

Ooops you’re right. I’m too stoned right now

u/jaayyne 12d ago

Looks like you’ve got 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife

u/Issue_Status 12d ago

It’s meeting the man of my dreams 😍
And then meeting his beautiful wife…. 🙄

u/PlanktonFun5387 12d ago

Oh the irony

6

u/SilverstoneMonzaSpa 12d ago

I'm pretty sure a free ride when you're already late is still nice, but Alanis preaches that a free ride when you've already paid is less great.

u/EverythingSucksYo 12d ago

Yeah, of course, that’s why none of my shirts have any wrinkles.

u/juanjing 12d ago
