Think Tank
I might join a think tank.
I'm thinking about it, that is. Not one actually joins a think tank. One only thinks about it.
If you actually join a think tank, you have surpassed thinking and are now "doing" something.
That would be a "do tank", and the last kind of tank I want to join is a tank that requires me to do things.
Does all the thinking have to be done in a tank? I'm not sure. Will everyone fit? Will there be air conditioning and snacks?
What kind of tank is it? A military tank would be cool. A gasoline tank not so much.
The idea of a think mattress sounds more enticing to me. All my best thinking is done on a mattress.
My wife is joining an overthink tank, because she overthinks everything. The hours are very long.
"Hey Bill, you know that thing we were thinking about yesterday? I went and did it."
"You actually did it? Get out of here. You're fired."
