    When I was a kid I thought the saying was “why don’t you piss in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills first?” And I was like wow adults are gross

      My mother used to say “If wishes were horses,” and I had no idea where that came from. I didn’t get internet until after her death in 2001. I looked up that saying and the complete version is, " If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. " Apparently, it’s a very old saying so I guess adults weren’t always gross.

      idk which hand you’d fill first doing that method, lmao

      It’s basically just a crass way to say “wishing is for suckers”

        Definitely the piss hand, unless your bowels are unwell.

        …is not a sentence I thought I’d be typing today 😄

          Liquid is harder to hold tho, so I think it depends on how you (subjectively) define when your hand is “full”
