View submission: AITA for questioning everything?
You ask in jest, no doubt, dear Aristophanes, for everything is in jest to you. But it is quite a serious matter. What is an asshole? Do only asses have assholes - does the asshole properly belong to the ass, or can man have an asshole if he is an ass? And can any hole in an ass be an asshole, for instance its ears or nostrils?

Ah, Sokrates, the only man who would ask 'AITA for questioning everything?' and then query the meaning of his very own words. Your head really must be up in the clouds if this is how you're going to behave; truly, one day you'll be remembered for the saying that the unexamined fart is not worth farting.

I think any student of Socrates would seek the *perfect* form of the asshole, not some indistinct shadow of an asshole. What a magical thought, the perfect asshole.
Or the student of a student might ask what would *cause* the asshole? Assholes cause more assholes as is seen in modern society. But what of the *first* asshole? And who moved it?
But the student of the student of the student clearly don't give a shit and just wants to kill Persian assholes.
