Ballooning is also a technique wherein you wrap an ecstasy tab in a piece of tissue and shove it up your asshole. Take it from me, I won my 5th Grade D.A.R.E. essay contest.

I rarely explain my jokes when people don't get them but I felt like people were under the impression I was trying to be a dick to OP, which wasn't my intention at all.

Should've reviewed it before hitting submit but hey hindsight is 20/20.
Edit -- Acuity, as in visual acuity, as in 20/20 on the Snellen Chart you goddamn cretinous louts.

We throw enough shit in the ocean and one day every museum will be an underwater museum.
Edit -- because the oceans will overflow, it wasn't a global warming joke.

I gotcha, but my comment was clearly a joke. Being a pedant is annoying under normal circumstances, doing so in response to what was very clearly a facetious jocular comment is moreso. But it's all good, it was sorta forced to begin with, tried coming up with a better one but I'm not that clever.
