Flies can still fly up your nose. If your eyes are closed light can't get to them, but you're still blind. If you plugged your ears no sound could reach them, but you'd be deaf. If you wrapped your body bubble wrap you wouldn't be able to feel anything either.
if you open your mouth if you are not taking about things and most of the time you are taking about shit and to curtailed this say is that for some reason most of the time a you are talking shit.
she needs to curtail her mouth and silence her rude comments. you can still get things into your nose and stuff with your mouth closed. i even had a fly land on my lips and get stuck on my chapstick, that wasn't pretty. it didnt get in but it got close, and i wasn't even running my mouth, so i didn't deserve it!

that if you close your mouth there will be no flies that mouth of yours. but when you get a fly in your mouth then your voice will be Curtailed. you will think twice about talking alot.
This is a curtailed quote, albeit one with a simple meaning. If you don't keep your mouth open, nothing bad will happen to you for talking so much. It's better to keep your mouth closed and your ears open most of the time, you learn much more that way.
eventhough this quote is curtailed it is very detailed. if you don't talk bad things then you won't get bad things talked about you. it's just a form of speech. it's easy to understand if you think about it.
CURTAIL YOUR MOUTH NUKKA!!!
basically if you observe more than talking you'll learn more!
so,SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND OPEN YOUR EYES!
BASICALLY IF YOU CURTAIL YOUR MOUTH EVER SO OFTEN YOU WON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN DRAMA OR THIS QUOTECAN HAVE A REVERSE EFFECT WHICH A CLOSED MOUTH DOESN'T GET FEED. WHICH MEANS IF YOU DON'T LET IN OPPORTUNITIES INTO YOUR LIFE YOU WILL NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO SUCCEED! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have something to say, especially something negative in nature, keep it curtailed; flies are always on the lookout for a nice, moist, warm spot.
If you keep your mouth shut then you wont have nasty things in your face.but if your going to say something negative keep it curtailed.
