What exactly does it mean when someone says, "I have an open mind"?
I've met some people with an open mind like an:
- open space - nothing, not even gravity
- open prairie - breezy endless wasteland
- open briefcase - everything inside falls out
- open well - easily contaminated by anything the wind blows in
- open season - everything there is fair game
- open sewer - well, you get the picture
- open mine - dark, confusing, and easy to get lost
- open door - just because it's open doesn't mean it should be
- open gun chamber - only open for a split second, between shots
- open trap - one wrong move and it closes hard and fast
- open hydrant - it's open, but there's so much coming out you can't put anything in
"The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid." - GK Chesterton
