It's best if we consult our bibles for this one. Gather round, let me teach you all an important bible lesson.
Like any vacation eventually the novelty wears off and you eventually become bored and ready for new adventures. But have you ever taken a vacation for
forty years? As you can imagine, after the first few weeks you'd become incredibly bored. Well this is exactly what happened when Moses led his people into the desert. What happens when you have a bunch of bored Jews with nothing to do?
Rap music is what happens.. What happens when you have a bunch of bored rapping Jews grumpy as hell because they're stuck in a desert? Rap battles!
Moses being an old guy and not understanding rap music saw his people engaging in frequent rap battles. People insulting each other's mothers, using all kinds of expletives, Moses knew he needed to put a stop to this, so he consults the bible:
Proverbs 15:2: The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.”
Moses tries to explain to his boys why rap battles are bad, but they just aren't getting it. He goes up on a mountain one night and has a talk with God.
"God, my people just aren't getting it. Mutiny on the bounty's what they're all about, Just the other day we got sixteen men on a dead man's chest, and if they don't stop I'll shoot those suckers and I'll shoot the rest."
God knew he had to act, so he presented Moses with some toothpaste. He told Moses to give the toothpaste to his people, let them cleanse their palates of their sins. Teach them that like the toothpaste, once you speak of ill someones mother the deed is done and there is no going back. Just as you cannot put toothpaste back into the tube, you cannot take back what you have already said.
That's why you cannot squeeze toothpaste back into the tube.
You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing.
