Items of Importance

I overheard a lady today saying, "Ohhh this movie just tugs at my heartstrings." --And that's fine. Perfect grammar, common phraseology and vernacular. However, I got to thinking. What is a heartstring? The only thing I can think of that could pass as a heartstring is the outer lining of the heart, called the pericardium, which houses all of the major vessels and capillaries that supply nutrients and give life to the heart.

If you gave someone's pericardium a tug, it would result in a massive myocardial infarction, leaving the "tugger" of the heartstring surprised and bewildered, and the "tugee" most likely dead.

So people, let's think before we say anything, do anything, or release any media to the public that would tug at ANYONE'S heartstrings, ok?

If you were thinking about tugging any heartstrings in the near future, think of the ramifications. Think of the children.

Let's all just be careful. ♥♥
