Honestly, it’s like an Aesop's fable about a boastful athlete. You know the one? It goes *Hic Rhodus, hic salta*—"Here is Rhodes, now jump!" Basically, the guy kept bragging about his phenomenal leap, but he only ever did it on Rhodes. So they told him, "Alright, imagine this is Rhodes, then jump." I just used that popular Marx's version of the proverb...
Now I see you went back and edited that missing letter regarding the athlete's phenomenal object of boasting. I was sitting here thinking, what is going on with our lovely, sophisticated little blue bird? 🙂
Or maybe my eyes were just playing tricks on me regarding that athlete's jump. 🙂
It reminds me of that old joke about the goldfish and its wish for "pro-level tennis." 🙂
Oh, and by the way—better to jump first, then ask if you hit the ceiling. 🙂
