There is such a thing

You can only take in so much at once before your memory gets overburdened. Or, as my father likes to say, you can't get ten pounds of shit into a five-pound bag. Applied to experience, this metaphor is perfectly apt. For example, if I were going to have intercourse with twenty-seven people in one sitting, I wouldn't be able to remember them very clearly as individuals. No matter how sober I was or what excellent notes I was taking, I'd still draw a blank later when asked to recall Partners 11, 12, 15, 17, and 23. Honestly, I'm having a hard time picturing Partners 11, 12, 15, 17, and 23 right now, and I haven't even left the house yet.
