Today's Question:
What is the average man's error rate in his judgements of life?
One hundred percent, of course...what'd you think it was?

While but a child, one man's parents gave him a radio which played all of the time.
When young he hardly even noticed it, but later in life its continual noise began to
bother him greatly. But no matter what he tried, he could find no way to permanently
shut it off.

Damn! -- what a sad story!

And now for a fan's response to this story:
"I find the man that you reported on who had a radio always playing, that he couldn't turn off,
to be a dunce. No one could be that stupid. There had to be something that he could have done
to shut it off. "Jeeze, I can't believe how dumb some people can be. Can't you find more
intelligent and inspiring men to talk about? Surely there are a few people out there not too
big an idiot to locate their own nose...or tie their own shoes. "Come on now, don't keep
telling us about just these few imbeciles...well, have to stop here, ran out of paper.
"Yours, A Thoughtful Fan."

Pointing to an article in the newspaper, a man said to his basset hound,
"Well, Winfro, here's something new to think about."
And the dog's impression was, "I can't see that you need anything additional
to think about."

("Bet cha' can't eat just one!"
"It's a bit late to come up with that now.")

A Story Concerning The Constant Pressure Of Space:
A man said to a mystic, "How are you doing these days?"
And the mystic replied, "Better, when there are no days."

(The man later asked what space had to do with the story,
obviously having missed the point [had there been one].)

There was once a man who had a motto, "I don't want to be too specific,"
whose ultimate success living thereby ultimately rendered him unseen.
A father advised a son, "If you are going to indulge in thinking, take up wrestling."
To which the lad responded, "Judo, you mean?"
"Yes, that too -- why not?"
