[Whoever] smelt it dealt it.

[Whoever] smelt it dealt it.

Proverb

he who smelt it, dealt it

1. (colloquial, originally) A person who calls attention to or complains about a fart is likely trying to pretend it wasn’t his or her own.
2. (colloquial, by extension) Used to suggest that a person calling attention to or complaining about a given problem may in fact be the source of the problem.

I included this for several reasons:

1. To get your attention.

2. To explain my philosophy on life. Basically, if you make a mistake, and we all do, own up to it. Stop playing the blame game, putting someone else down so you feel better about yourself. We are all guilty of this. Realizing it is the first step in trying to correct it.

3. To demonstrate that we are all imperfect creatures bumbling our way through life. And sometimes it’s ok to cover up our tiniest faults.
