How "Anal" Are You With Respect to Runs in Paint?

Uhhh....
I read any reference to ANAL and instantly see it as a literal reference.
I'm that way with a LOT of language though. My default thought is to take each word in literal terms.
I don't like hearing "How are you"? unless the person asking really means it.
I don't like when people say....."The speed limit sign said 55". Signs don't say anything. They cannot speak.
Take a piss.
Held my breath for an hour.
She must have dated a hundred guys.
The car made 500 horsepower.
I'm starving.
NONE of the above are factually correct when most people say them but we accept them as being a figurative description, not literal.
I find that stuff funny.
