What does all work and no play makes jack a dull boy mean?

Answer 1

It is a quote popularized in the movie The Shining. But, the phrase in it's self means: If you work all the time and do not take the time to relax, let go, and play then you will become boring.

Answer 2

Well from a sociological standpoint, if Jack were to be working all day and assume the role of "Tiber Septim" he would have a very fond memory of his childhood nanny, Cuhlecain. Assuming that Jack could combust spontaneously into fecal matter, he would play a role in the battle of Sancre Tor. If Jack could then lead the land of Skyrim into economical prosperity he would make a great deal of cheese puffs off his crunchy leaf trade with the Squeaky Dolphin hordes. Akatosh, the dandiest of the squires, would sooner (or later) betray Jack and be banished from the land of Skyrim. Most people can assume his overexcessive weight had something to do with it. As Jack approached his middle ages, he would then come face to face with his mortal enemy, Jagar Tharn. In the great slap fight between them it would be a close call, but Jack would come out on top (giggity) in the end. Jack would live to be about 96 and 1/16th years old. He would pass on his empire to the mighty Ocato of the Elder Council.In the end, Zenithar gets the girl and Jack is irrelevant. Who really cares if Jack is a dull boy? I just brightened his day with this story and made him a vibrant giggling little girl.

You just got RICK ROLL'D

The saying means: If you only work, and do not take the time out to have fun, then you will become a very boring person. Or in the case of The Shining, it will make you go mad.
