"Raising the Bar" is the title of an episode of South Park I just saw. This expression has always seemed stupid to me. It seems that when people say "raise the bar" it means to make something more difficult. Well, that is just stupid. The higher you raise the bar the more easy it is to get under it.

You are such a profound thinker. Ponder this for a moment. Maybe the expression "raise the bar" has to do with going over the "bar" and not under it. I guess it depends on whether you prefer the limbo or the high jump.

Well, they tend to say I spend much time in limbo, so I will go with that one.
