[Typhoid]

Actually, no - it was just a joke.
I was high on codeine [as I am much of the day, every day - for the past 5 months], and felt like making a post.

And being that I just watched Jon Stewart before I posted, it's no surprise that I recalled something he said, and posted it here.

Now, as for why I found it funny - it's not because I think it's 'true', nor because I agree with it.

In my mind it's funny because I was looking at it from the standpoint of the motto itself. "If at first you don't succeed...try the exact same thing."
It's such a ridiculous idea for a motto, that I thoroughly enjoyed it on it's own. Much like one from the Simpsons of "If at first you don't succeed, give up." I don't like that because it's knocking the person he's saying it to, just the fact it's a horrible outlook.
