| Why do people keep circulating this saying? It makes no sense.
| Normally, assuming only ever has the power to make an ass of the person
| who did the assuming, i.e. "me", not "u and me". And even then, it's
| not like you could get very far in life without making any assumptions,
| so at best even that part is only sometimes true.
It's assuming without actually checking first. «This looks like junk,
so I'll just rm -rf it» rather than «this looks like junk -- uhm.
*think*. google around a bit and then removing it the right way.»
