+++ title = "The most intellectual thing I've heard in a while" description = "" date = 2025-05-07 +++ A few days ago, me and some friends were going somewhere, we were 4 guys on two scooters. I was with this guy riding pillion with me, let's call him [Redacted]. We overtook the other two friends on the road, and I jokingly called them a couple of tortoises. That's when [Redacted] said, "But if they are behind us, that makes us the tortoises." It took a minute to click in. This statement blew my mind. It might sound small but I never would've thought of this. [Redacted] is truly an intellectual. P.S. If you don't get the context, check out [The Tortoise and the Hare](https://read.gov/aesop/025.html)
