But that's not what people mean when they say it. They use it as confirmation, not challenge.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But we know people are dumb.

"The exception proves the rule" was originally (and much more coherently) about legal exceptions.
A sign announcing 'Free parking on Sunday' should lead one to conclude that on every other day of the week there will be a charge levied for leaving one's car in that spot. The posted exception, therefore proves (demonstrates) that at other times the rule is in effect.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I took a politcal quiz wherein I am too the left of GANDHI, so I doubt American politicians will satisfy me.
Mah sistah!
I remember separate b/c I misspelled it in a spelling bee. That and "asthmatic" I will never forget.
They have about half a dozen special needs kids, and last I saw them, she was pregnant again and very proud.
Uh. Wow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sure there's a twibbon for that, Jessica. Well done.
Is that the same proof as the proof of the pudding that's in the eating? I want to say it is, but the legal exception thing is pretty compelling and doesn't seem to apply to puddings.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of a reply. DNFTEC and all that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The weeding of my yard is going to be so satisfying, once it's done. Not done yet though. I am hoping to make a big push and actually finish this week.
This weekend we are going to my grandmother's and getting what will be my guest bed! WHOOT!

Oh, my motherfucking god. Yesterday's prescription that I checked up on before lunch is not filled yet. Which they tell me after half an hour in line.
Meanwhile, there's an old lady that won't take her prescription because she insists her doctor has no middle name. Her prescription form lists a middle initial, but she freaked out and argued for almost ten minutes. Someone in line even went up to her and told her (in less dirty terms) to shit or get off the pot. She got off the pot.
