Beautiful on the Inside

I keep hearing people say things like: “She’s beautiful inside and out”, and: “He may not look like much, but he’s beautiful on the inside.” This is a nice sentiment, but it’s not really very realistic. You see, I used to work in a morgue when I was younger, so I know only too well that inside, we’re mostly really squishy and icky and gooey and stuff. The fact is, most people can’t even look at another person’s inside without passing out or throwing up. And it stinks, too! There are all kinds of smelly things going on inside of us that are yucky and stinky; is this what they’re referring to when they say someone is “beautiful on the inside”?

So when you hear anyone say someone is “beautiful on the inside”, run away: they’re probably some heinous serial killer who loves to stare at people’s innards after they flay them and stuff! Or else they’re some weirdo anti-social surgeon with a gore fetish. And either way: Yikes!
