Sitting
alone, a man mused:
“When
you think about man you can think about how he really is,
or
about how he says he believes he is – which can be two entirely
different things,”
and
while this seemed quite obvious once his consciousness had put it into
words,
he
was nonetheless noticeably stricken and enthused thereby for quite some
time.
(“About
what other creature can this be said?” he further mused.)
One
guy thought: “I don’t know how I could possibly live anywhere new
if
I wasn’t living there already.”
(If
this is not: The Story Of Man’s Inner
Life,
then
it is certainly the story of something.
Which
may also throw a different light on the chap who advertises:
“Home
Improvement For The Mind.”)
So
confides one chap:
“A
neural rebel trying to inform the public about his affair is like a stud
bull
singing
opera to sheep.
(Yeah,
there seems to be no connection between the two –
but
that’s just the point now isn’t it.)”
Remember:
One man’s trash is another man’s garbage.
One
fellow states:
“Heroes
are a stop gap measure ordinary minds employ to fill in the embarrassing
blank spot in their perception of reality’s sequencing:
all
in all they are hastily sketched figures a man’s mental projector will
flash on to the screen of consciousness when his routine travel slides
momentarily run out.”
(“Pa pa: When I grow up can I run out?”)
With
some trepidation, so mulled one mullet:
“If
the main use of clarinets is to poke holes in accordions
then
what are ordinary thoughts doing so close to the conscious part of my brain?”
If
it weren’t for reminiscing most people over age 50 wouldn’t be able to
minisce at all.
During
a social for faculty members at city college, one was heard saying to another:
“Regardless
of one’s conceptual objections to religion,
how
can an enlightened person hold a passionate disbelief in the idea of god
(after all): what true thinking-man
would not
like to meet someone more intelligent than himself?!” then pulling
his tweed and, harrumph! up
to their full stature,
the
second replied: “Me and every other hip person for one.
My
god man! – remember where you are.”
(“Father: When I grow up can I remember where I
am?”)

Just
as a man’s penis only has one thing on its mind,
so
too confined is the ordinary outlook of the conscious part of his brain.
(“Doctor Webber:
I’m not sure I approve of this finding.”
“Well Doctor Fields:
that’s easy to handle: just pretend you’re unaware of it.”
“Well Doctor Webber:
I won’t have to pretend: I am
unaware.”
“Oh! Doctor Fields:
you’re such a kidder.”
Had
Borscht
been more on the ball he could have employed suspenders
as
support for the acts instead of his more common accessory.
[And
upon hearing this someone in the audience thought: “Well, can you beet
that!”])
Conversation.
“The
man awake to the nature of words can talk circles around other people
–
but
even neater than that is that he can make his mean no more than does theirs.”
“Wow! – I really
don’t get that one!?! Will you elaborate?”
“I
don’t want to talk about it.”
The certain man's not vocal,
the certain man's not reticent,
but he doesn't want to go,
where everybody else is sent.
One
man muses:
“It’s
as though the conscious part of my brain is being continually highjacked
--
but
the strangest aspect is by whom!”
A
nice feature of recounting history is that it requires no fresh expenditure
of energy.
A
couple of the ride mechanics were talking:
“You
haven't had a truly bad hangover unless you’ve had one that was so painful
the next morning it drove you to drink some more just to momentary survive
it.”
“Same thing I guess with the discomfort caused by
routine states of consciousness.”
Medical
News (Of A Sort).
The
way to develop back problems is to first have front problems.
So
mused yet another man:
“I
wonder just how much of consciousness’ potential power the brain
presently
wastes?” --
then thought better of his terminology and thus revised:
“…the
brain presently underutilizes? --
but
however it’s phrased: it’s still a disturbing situation.”
Proverb
Update.
Man
does not live by aging alone (leastwise not the certain
man);
lungs
are not the only thing that breathes.
