No hands, no cookies
Aug. 17th, 2010 12:58 amDay 05 ~ Your favorite quote: "No hands, no cookies" (or as it says in Spanish: "no hay manos, no hay galletas")
It's from a very bad-tasteful joke, about a kid asking his mother for some cookies, the mother refuse to give him one again and again and again and tell him to pick one by himself if he wants it so much. The kid then say to his mother that he can't because he has no hands and well, the mother's answers is "no hands, no cookies".
I know is cruel and not funny at all if you really think about it. But for me and my friends, when we were at secondary school and we were told it, it became a way to see the world soon enough. It was more a mantra than a joke. For us it meant that if we wanted something we must get it by ourself, because nobody is going to fight our battles.
