I’m bored already. But I’ll try to respond anyway. Apparently, you should say sorry like you mean it, and not do the thing you’re saying sorry for again. Apparently, some apologies aren’t good enough, and just because you use the word ‘sorry’ doesn’t necessarily prove that you’re really really really sorry. Apparently, people tend to judge us by our deeds as well as our words. Who knew?

So, hypothetically speaking, if someone catches you balls deep in a watermelon and you say ‘sorry’, but carry on fucking the watermelon, you’re not really sorry for fucking that watermelon at all. In fact, your deeds reveal that you’re actually quite unrepentant. Which is a religiously connotative word that means you like fucking watermelons and cannot lie. Or not very skilfully anyway.

Don’t believe me? It’s all in the Bible. Perhaps not in those exact words, but the gist at least.

And isn’t that lucky? Because if it wasn’t for the Bible I’d have no idea that you actually have to stop fucking the watermelon when saying sorry to the person who caught you. Until they leave the room anyway.
