Stupid people

Recently, one of my co-workers (who shall remain nameless) stated in the lunchroom that "the heart... the heart... it's a thing... it's a terrible thing." What in the name of all that is holy and pure does that mean, exactly? Isn't the heart a wonderful thing? It keeps you alive, doesn't it? But no... stupid co-worker said "it's a thing... it's a terrible thing." Calgon - take me away!!
