Heard that Kanye West recently said that he hasn’t read a book, and “reading is like eating Brussels sprouts”. I know that some people “hear” colours and similar, I suppose this falls into those phenomena. I’d like to add more examples, from my own experience:
- showering is like folding waxed paper
- looking at Mars is like editing a contact on your phone
- assembling a children’s slide is like naming a chicken
Also: he’s not wrong – especially if those sprouts are roasted with olive oil and bacon. Very tasty.
If I ever met him, here’s what I’d say:
“CAN YE no shut up?”
It’s a Scottish thing.
