I'm just gonna be real with you and admit that I didn't know the Strait of Hormuz even existed until a couple of weeks ago when everyone started talking about it. So, when I heard it existed, you know what i did?

I shut the fuck up.

Because I don't know shit about it. But I did take the opportunity to look it up online and I read about it for an hour or so. You wanna know what I did then?

I shutted the fuck up some more.

Because, even though I'd spent a negligible part of my day reading about it, I still didn't know enough to be talking about it in the way that we're talking about it now. I have no military, tactical sense. Hell, I barely have a grasp on geography most of the time. So, you know what I did then?

I kept the shutting the fuck up up.

I listened to people who know about it. People who have spent years and years of their lives studying such things and I learned a few things.

And then I kept shutting the fuck up. Because listening to people isn't the same as experience. I was surprised to find out that I have a friend who has been through the Strait and he had a lot to tell me in the way of personal experience. Then guess what i did.

Yeah, you guessed it. I shut all the way the fuck up.

It's astounding to me that so many people who didn't know that Puerto Rico was an American territory until last month are all of a sudden experts on the Straight of Hormuz.

Shut up.
