I love literal humor! Thank you for a much needed laugh.

My cousin is constantly in jail for stealing things - every time he gets out he'll steal some dumb thing out of habit within a month and get sent back. When I was a kid I'd heard the word kleptomaniac and wanted to use it to describe my cousin, but I'd also heard the word nymphomaniac and had gotten the two confused, so for a span of about 2 years I was going around telling a bunch of people that my cousin is in jail for being a nymphomaniac.

Nah, we know there would need to be a comma before "literally" in order to mean that. 😁

Taking tings literally is a metaphor... What a contradiction!
