Another application of Einstein's Theory, in respect to Elections
According to Einstein's special theory of relativity, if a person could run in a circle at 299,792.458 km/s (the speed of light) they would actually catch up to themselves and could therefore actually screw themselves.
On the other hand, you could save a lot of effort and energy, and just vote NDP or Liberal in the upcoming election...... 
This is where I say sorry in a really small quiet voice.....

Very good, bud.

to further your point, as you approached the speed of light your mass would increase exponentially until you became infinitely massive...making it a massive screwing of oneself.
or you could vote as you say!!

I probably should have gone with a catchier title to get more attention. But putting 'screw yourself' in a title might get me banned....

I'm pretty sure Einstein never envisioned that as one of the options when you caught up to yourself. You own that obsession my friend.

Well that's an interesting interpretation of what I wrote..... 
Glad you enjoyed the humor of it.
