One man's New Year's song:
"It's swell to be well,
and mighty fine to be outta your mind,
but what I want now
to make my life complete
is to spit up the thing I've swallowed
that's sunk down to my feet."

And just then his mother scolded him down off the couch, reminding him that
he was no longer a young hair and should be avoiding cat balls to begin with.

A Reminder To Do Your Part:

So-called "Conventional Wisdom" is an illusion -- it doesn't exist.
Oh, "conventional" exists -- but not-t-t "wisdom."

One man (for the moment) decided, "If I am going to have 'me's' then I'm going
to look at it as me having particular 'me's': the talking me, and the silent me."
He then paused for a moment, brushed his hands together in satisfaction,
and said, "And that takes care of that."

A man asked a mystic, "Can you tell me what I am?"
"No," he replied.
"Well," said the man, "if I were a student of yours could you tell me what I am?"
"No," he again replied.
"Then," asked the man, "if I were a student of yours could you tell me what I'm not?"
"That I could do," he replied, "but a true student of enlightenment could do it for himself."

Question:
Why is man the only creature said to be unable to see himself as he is?
-- Because he is the only one able to see himself, in a mental sense?

One man finally asked himself,
"When I don't think that I'm here to be in charge -- who is in charge?"
And so concludes another episode of your favorite game show: "Don't Answer That!"
