“You bought the ticket, you get to see the whole damn show!” -What I’ve said to people who have gone too damn far
I had a buddy that used to like to remind people "you bought the ticket, you take the ride" or something like that. Some of the inflection in that is lost when it's in type, but he mean that you had bitten off more than you could chew by doing something; whatever it was you did.
