Why the -blam!- not? It's my cake. If I can't eat it why the hell would I want to have it? To stare at it? Why would I want to do that?

To be blunt, I don't understand this saying.

"There's a very fine line between not listening, and not caring. I'd like to think that I walk that line every day."

Because, the cake is a lie.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

If I bought the cake I'm entitled to everything on the cake.

It means that nothing good will last. I think. At least that's what I got from it.

Like, after you enjoy your cake, it is gone, so you don't have it anymore.

You can sometimes have cake, but not eat it like when it's in the fridge and you are just too damn lazy to get up and eat it

In my opinion, the saying is saying that sometimes you have to compromise. As another Cliché says, "You give a little, you get a little."

It's my cake. The first person to suggest I can't eat it gets a bullet in their liver.

Ice cream cake FTW

I think it has to do with conflicting desires.

As RC5908 mentioned... Once you eat it, you no longer have it. So, you cannot both have it (to keep) and eat it.
