Kanye West said: “If I don’t win Album of the Year [at the Grammys], I’m really going to have a problem with that.”

Which seems kind of like a dumb, egotistical thing for him to say, until you realize the sentiment really has a historical background that no one knows about.

Ug: “If fire doesn’t win Invention of the Year, I’m really going to have a problem with that.”

Jesus: “If I don’t resurrect in three days, I’m really going to have a problem with that.”

Galileo: “If these two cannonballs I’m dropping off the tower don’t hit that ground at the same time, I’m really going to have a problem with that.”

George Washington: “If we don’t make it across this river, I’m really going to have a problem with that.”

Adolph Hitler: “If we don’t kill all those Jews and gay people, I’m really going to have a problem with that.”

Albert Einstein: “If energy doesn’t equal mass times the speed of light squared, I’m really going to have a problem with that.”

Martin Luther King: “If we don’t get some civil rights soon, I’m really going to have a problem with that.”

Bill Gates: “If anybody needs more than 640k, I’m really going to have a problem with that.”

George W. Bush: “If I’m not allowed to become President under questionable legal circumstances, attack Iraq without legitimate cause, lie to the American people about it, be utterly incompetent in times of disaster, and, on top of all that, completely and obviously break the law of the land and then pretend that I had the executive right to do it, I’m really going to have a problem with that.
