In the verbal world,
full men never know
that the happiest
are those who are empty.

Whenever one man would be told "don't call me, I'll call you," he'd think:
"Hell! -- you don't call me and I won't call me either."

According to legend, one of the gods taught his dog to answer the phone
and identify himself by saying "either."

Question:
How can you be absolutely certain that when you awaken in the morning
from your dreams you're not simply in yet another unrealized dream?

Answer:
(drum roll please)...Aw, why waste our time?
You know the correct response to that one.

Another of the part-time divine ones trained his parakeet so that whenever
someone would knock on his front door the bird would call out:
"Who's there? Are you certain? Absolutely certain? And if not are you in any
way related to Mr. Certain?"

Instinct is spontaneous --
to say that thought is not
takes too long to say to be relevant.
...(Wouldn't you say?)
