How very true.

Overheard today:
"You pull into the passing lane, but you do not bring the speed."

I don't know if it was meant metaphorically or literally, but I think it's a wonderful general-purpose put-down:

"Hey, dude, you're pullin' into the passing lane, all right, but guess what? You're not bringin' the speed."

That, or a lyric from an early-period-Madonna "inadequate boyfriend" pop song:

(da, ba-da-da-da-dat-da, ba-da-da)
You pull into the pass-ing lane
(da, ba-da-da-da-dat-da, ba-da-da)
But you do not bring the spee-ee-eed
(da, ba-da-dat-dat-dat-da)
Yeah
