Out of the brain pan, then, let us spread wide the colours of bullshit like a fan, and examine them one by one. First there is red bullshit. Red is the colour of the ardent bullshit of love that is always speaking. This is the kind of bullshit that gods listen to when they need a good laugh. As a matter of fact, gods get together in groups and laugh until they are rolling when they hear the words of people in love. If they hear an exclamation such as “O my love, my love!” it will cause them to howl. If this is followed by phrases such as “I won’t ever leave you” and then a “Never?” followed by a “Never!”, the gods will all shriek the word “Never!” together, almost hurting their throats with the intensity of their mirth. Then there is blue bullshit which is the viable bullshit of the day. This is the bullshit of scientists, statisticians, and psychiatrists. This kind of bullshit carries its own little tag but is nevertheless hard for the unpractised eye to detect. Listen for phrases such as “experts agree” or “statistics prove.” Next in the total rainbow of bullshit comes green bullshit which is unhealthy and has lots to do with the bragging of young men in change rooms, business banter, and the sickly words of deliberate seducers. Green is the colour of advertising bullshit. It is the underlying tinge of World War II bullshit. It is the green of the goiter, the fungus, and the gangrene infection and is bottomed out only by that most despicable of all bullshit — white bullshit, which is of course the colour of recorded history. White bullshit is actually a very highly priced lubricant. The very one that keeps all those young bodies sliding into uniforms and all the pistons and gears of arms factories in motion. You have to be very careful with this kind of bullshit for it is a highly toxic, slippery, and explosive substance.* When you see it, recognize it. Call it by its name which is its shame. Say “Bullshit! Bullshit!”
