act cheem line of the day: an overturned bowl holds no water.

meaning: when you turn a bowl over, all the water comes out. it thus holds no water.

unless of course you turn it fast enough and slam it onto a flat surface, thus trapping the water between the two objects. provided the rim of the bowl is flat enough, and that the bowl is not made of glass or other brittle materials.

act cheem line of the day 2: overturned bowl on table with water within causes much anguish to unsuspecting mum/maid/domestic figure of choice upon removal

meaning: if you're 7 years old and want to piss the heck out of your mum, follow the instructions above, taking care to use as heavy a bowl as possible (to prevent leakage of fluids) and remembering to wipe away any spilled water to avoid suspicions. when said parent arrives on the scene and attempts to remove the strategically placed object, chaos will ensue, resulting possibly in rounds of caning, scolding or emotional blackmail. and also the indescribable feeling of accomplishment.
