A Zen gay atheistic Texan’s perspective

The guy next to me who spouts weird phrases and such is at it again. He’s trying to tell someone on the phone that though a problem looks like one thing, it’s actually something entirely different:

“Well, usually when you have hoofbeats, you expect a horse, not a zebra. But what we have here is a zebra, not a horse, even though we’re hearing hoofbeats.”

This is what I listen to all day long. Friggin’ Socrates over there.
