Dear Mr Bojangles25,
It seems you like analogies, so let me share one that I made earlier today.
You go to the store on a Monday of any given month. You go to the candy aisle and decide to buy a box of Runts. You take em to the checkout and pay your 50 cents and leave. As you are consuming the candy you come across a banana shaped runt. As you are chewing it, you suddenly realize how horrible it tastes, spit it out and remark, "This does not taste like a banana!"
On Tuesday of the same given month, you return to the store and decide to try another box of Runts, figuring the day before you had bought a bad box of runts. You go to the checkout again and pay your 50 cents. Once again you come across another banana shape runt. This time you are sure that this one will taste like a banana. As you start to chew, the same horrible taste causes you to spit it out and remark, "This does not taste like a banana!!"
On Wednesday, you go to another store to buy yet another box of Runts, figuring the last store just happened to get a bad batch. Again you pick out a box, pay your 50 cents and leave the store. This time you pick out the banana shaped runt first to test your theory. As you consume the runt, you are inundated with the same horrid banana taste. This time you throw the box to the ground and proclaim, "I hate runts!"
On Thursday, you decide to go to the store and give the clerk some grief about how bad runts are. As you yelling at the clerk about the horrid banana runts, another customer approaches the counter. Butting into the conversation, the customer informs you that this is how runts have always been, and that maybe you should try a different brand of candy. Still livid over the argument with the clerk, you lash out and tell the customer to "leave", proclaiming that you want to eat runts but they should make the banana runts better.
The customer says, "Banana runts are my favorite."
Some might define "crazy", as doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.
