A man with a glass eye has two choices:
He can either - see monoscopically, or
Have a fragile ego -- but not both!
(Well, not if he expects to marry YOUR daughter.)


The everyday theological-philosophy of a certain galaxy,
(Which has developed a numbers system singular to themselves),
is as follows:
“While the seas are filled with the cries of the drowning
this is balanced by the beaches being littered with the deaf.”

(At last report their Tourist Board had as its logo:
A smile and a tombstone with the words, “Why Not YOU?”)

. . . [I feel obliged to note that many viewers believe my little stories of
"far away places" to be much further away than they actually are;
but, then again, many people's believing mechanism is far too close to home
to be trustworthy.]


This one guy's rallying cry, whenever HE was the hometown team in his head stadium,
was, "Always Alert, To The Ever-Present Threat Of Certainty."


A tall fellow acting as one of the city park philosophers took to the speaker's area
and thusly did he speakly: "All of the joy of life is but intoxication."
And a squirrel said to a visiting cousin, "How true, how true; and the marvelous thing around here
is that their drugs come both in bottles AND in words!"
