The Optimism of incompetence
I realized recently that when one is accused of doing something half-assed, it is never made clear if a better job would be done with the whole ass or with no ass at all. If the former, Zeno's Paradox dovetails nicely with Murphy's Law and dictates that the full ass can never be reached, thus ensuring the job will never get done.More hopeful, then, to avoid doing all work that would invite ass comparisons.
