It’d be nice to think that the occasionally quite attractive (but often quite repellent) inter-buttockary cleft was ‘the bottom line’, which we hear captains of industry and economists blathering about. Butt, of course, that isn’t the bottom line. It’s just a bottom line.
I googled the phrase, and the top result (I can’t be bothered citing the URL) ran thus:
‘What is bottom line? The bottom line primarily refers to a company’s net income, which appears as the final line on the income statement.* It’s the total amount of profit a business has remaining after paying expenses, expressed with the equation: Revenue – Expenses = Net Income.’
* My italics. I.e. at the bottom of a financial statement. Rather akin to how musicians say ‘let’s take it from the top’, which refers to starting at the top or beginning of a score.
I post this in part as an afterthought to a previous post (about getting scammed buying apparel via Facebook), and in part because I myself – or perhaps Teresa and I? – well, in all honesty, more me really! Need to clean up my act, bottom line wise!
