On sympathy
-
Watching cold case detective and YouTuber Ken Mains, describing how he feels about an elderly murderer who some feel should be free because he’s old and harmless:
“You want sympathy? Look between shit and syphilis in the dictionary. That’s what you’ll get.”
That’s so bad I had to let it sink in for 4 seconds before I loled. But lol I did.

Apparently it's from a David Sedaris book. But this detective munged it up into a verbal uncanny valley and I love it. The original is more comprehensible, but not so bad that it's good.
“If you're looking for sympathy you'll find it between shit and syphilis in the dictionary.”
