Hmmm, "A few cans short of a sixpack"
Well, sinse a sixpack by deffinition holds six cans, (whether of beer,
larga, coke or whatever), then how many is a few? it cannot be one sinse the
words cans is used implying it is a plaural, however it cannot be two sinse
there are already collective plaurals for two, eg, a pair, a couple which
could've been used instead of the collective "A few"
If however it is three cans, then we run into a basic deffinitional problem
sinse logically three is half of six and therefore "Half a sixpack" however
by deffinition a half is a proportionately large amount, and therefore the
categorical opposite of a few. So, is it indeed possible to be a few cans
short of a sixpack? Perhaps it is this logical impossibility which promotes
the metaphore for insanity, sinse by deffinition if nobody can ever be! a
few cans short of a sixpack and yet someone is, it implies a severe
imbalance in the world sinse quantities with no deffinition have been
involved, hence why such people who might be described as "A few cans short
of a sixpack" are seen as insane or mad, though whether they were mad before
being described by such utterly nonsensical and mathematically
incomprehensible analogies or whether such analogies applied to them have
caused a severe mentil disconnection from reality through being described by
quantities that cannot possibly exist is not clear.
Disclaimer! the above analysis may well be a complete and utter load of
dingo's kidneys aand just exist for completely pointless amusement value.
