Goat: Hey, Rat, did you see this story about congress? Rat: I could care less. Goat: You know, people misuse that expression all the time. It's actually, 'I couldn't care less.' Because if you could care less, it means you actually care. Rat: I could care less. Goat: The poor english language. Pig: Us doesn't care anymore.
I’m with Rat. Goat sounds too much like an English teacher I had whom I hated. And whom I ended up proving didn’t really pay attention to the work she gave us. I got an A- on a 50 page assignment that was part of the requirement for high school graduation. Hey, great. Just one little problem, I only wrote ten pages. Because we were doing it on computer and because it needed to be turned in, I just printed out all ten pages five times and turned it in. Should have gotten an F had she paid attention to everything. Probably just read the first couple of pages, if even that much.
