I was watching TV and they aired a program on the most "Most entertaining moments in TV entertainment".
My this particular article takes the cue from one particular part that was from Sienfeld where there was a debate on "Over" stuff which went on something like this:
George: Take the clothes out of the dryer else they will be overdried.Jerry: They cannot be overdried. There is nothing as overdrying.....
George looks puzzled.
Jerry: As there is nothing as overwet. If your boxer is wet it is wet. It cannot be overwet or underwet. Like for eg. you cannot overkill a person. You cannot kill a person and then shoot him again to overkill him. He won't overdie. If you die, you are dead, You cannot be overdead. Similarly the clothes cannot overdry.Talking about overdoing things, lets examine a small list I composed:
1. Overburn a sandwich. How can you in all reality overburn anything. Anything that's burnt is burnt and not fit to be consumed. So what do you mean by overburning.. make a black sandwich turn into charcoal?
2. Overimagine. How can you overimagine something. If you imagine dating Aishwarya Rai [AR] or Collin Farell you just imagine. It is not your overimagination. What you imagine is your business. Nobody else can say you overimagined. It's my prerogative to imagine and there is nothing in it that I can overdo. If you happen to imagine dating Jennifer [whoever.. there are so many of them] after imagining dating AR, you have not overimagined. People might argue that this cannot be true so it is overimagining. Well, thank you for pointing that out. I did believe AR could be my date.. ahem.
3. Overfamiliarity. I am familar with the way this drink tastes. I cannot be overfamilar with that. Either you know or you don't. If you know then you are familiar. You cannot drink water 100 times and say, yeah I am overfamilar with the way it tastes.. gulp.
4. Overexaggerated. [exaggerated: Represented as greater than is true or reasonable]. Then what does overexaggerated mean? More than exaggerate? I flapped my arms and flew like a bird [maybe]
There are many more and you people can probably do good to fill me in. Don't overdo it ;)
Talking about "over" stuff.. surely you cannot let cricket pass by. India did it again. Well we are kinda used to it now. So doesn't matter. What really is interesting is the ongoing Ashes. Will Australia be made to follow on after 17 years?
