What is is about the word “two” anyway? “Two are better than one; It takes two to tango; Two bits; Two's company, three's a crowd; Two times the cheese as other brands; Take two; If two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?” and other phrases that employ the word two are rampantly used by people and advertisers every day. Twice as much can be a good thing, but a bad thing it may also be.
It's good when a person has had two anniversaries, unless those anniversaries are of some tragic event. Two wins can be great, unless one plays for the opposing team. Two children are wonderful, unless they are both throwing up at the same time. Two jobs can be beneficial, unless they keep a person away from his or her family. Two scoops are better than one, unless those two scoops give a tummy ache. But then again, who really cares about the results as long as there can be twice as much, right?
Double meat, double cheese, double dog dare, double trouble, double the fun, double the love, double the ride, double the days, double the years, double the money, double the tears, double on the double because two is better, and two is necessary, and two must be because two is what one needs. Twice the debt? Twice the carnage? Twice the trouble? Twice the bet? Twice the harm? Twice the visit? Twice the doctors? Twice the vets? But then again, if one thinks twice, two times some things is not very nice, and one would rather be if he had two too, a choice that one would be better than two. Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
