Offense?

"No offense or anything,
But...................."

What could you possibly end that statement with that
Wouldn't
Be offensive?
".......but your lasagna does'nt really taste like lasagna"
".......but your head is misshapen"
".......but your face looks like, well,
I couldn't even say without
Violently
Throwing up"

That's the whole reason you start out with
"No offense or anything"
Because you know beyond
A shadow of a doubt
That you are about to say the most offensive thing
You have ever said in your
Life,
And the best part is
That you're going to get away with it
Because you threw in the
"No offense or anything" clause.

"...or anything"
What does THAT even mean?
"No offense or....
Or any other negative feelings of
Repulsion,
Disgust,
Or hatred
That you normally would otherwise
Feel
When someone says what
I'm about to say,
And all you have the right to say back is
"Oh,
None taken"

Oh, Aaron, I think you meant to say the word "anis" as in "star anis", the spice that tastes like black licorice. What a hilarious misunderstanding!
