pass the mustard

Did you ever have one of those moments where you realize something amazingly deep about the universe, and for a second everything makes sense and you understand something about the way the world works? And then you try to write it down and it's GONE. You can't articulate it for the life of you, and mentally retracing your steps doesn't work. You knew what it was all about for half a second and ya lost it, ya stupid schmuck, and now you're standing there in the kitchen with a goddamn ham sandwich in your hand. I hate when that happens.

It's the way of the universe

I'm convinced that we aren't supposed to know such things and we certainly aren't supposed to define and PRINT such secrets. You almost created a terrible rift in the cosmic rule and would have probably been erradicated if your attempt was successful. Thank goodness that you lost it!

You know, you're right! At the very least I would have been transformed into one of those homeless mystic types who accost people on the street and try to school them on the meaning of life--which wouldn't be a bad gig, but I could never stomach the cheap wine those guys have to drink all the time. Keep me clueless and clean, thank you very much. ;)
