A Fall Fairy Tale:
In a land of make-believe,
anything you can imagine
can find a home.

"So," said a man, "that's why every damn thing fits around here -- yet nothing works."

There is positive noise and negative noise...as long as you believe in noise.
...A race of chicken inspectors, with no chickens to inspect, but with enough
creativity to not let that stand in their way.

There was once a band of warriors who called themselves Creativity, but who
turned out to be Too Much Spare Time Gone AWOL.

A man looked into an empty envelope and said,
"Why have I always taken you seriously?"

And life asked one man, "Can you say the alphabet backwards -- real fast --
and if so, go on out and play. You're no longer sufficiently frightened to
stay indoors here with yourself."

A man came to the cubicle of The Great Oracle, bringing with him this question:
"I have heard of The Mystical Way -- exactly what is it?"
"Don't think about it," the voice from within replied.
"But I'm interested in it," the man insisted.

"Papa, what does 'weenie breath' mean?"
"That you've been sleeping in the wrong bed again."

"Yeah, it sure is easy to kick around thought when you're down-and-out."
"Maybe, until you realize that it was thought that put you there."

A man sat down with himself and said, "So, what shall we talk about?"
And replied, "Can I leave now?"
(Wouldn't you 'ave loved to see the headline to that story, had it had one?)
