The Secret Recipe For Nervous-System-Surprise
 January 1, 2004                                                                      ©2004: JAN COX



One man decided that when he grew up he wanted to be just like himself –
but once he did he then decided he wanted to be like anybody but himself  --
then, realizing the inaptness of the situation, decided to grow up an additional time.
Note: Anything a man does individually beneficial  --  he does on his own time.
 

In this one reality the creatures believe that before they can present a request to
their deity they must fill out a special loan application.
There is something worse than living-on-borrowed-time  --  want to guess what it is?
Only spatially extant beings with thoughts can become temporal also, and only after achieving this state do they have a conception of temporality coming to an end.
“It seems to me that a world class god would not put any restrictions on what his creation could ask for  --  an idea that becomes practical and significant
when you understand that what mind calls god is a pseudonym for mind.”
What eagle stands on its own wing?
What capable synapse ignores its nature as a crossroad?
What navigator covers one of his own eyes?
 

One man says: “First thing every morning I read the obituaries,
and if my name is not there, I go on with my day”;
another man says: “First thing every morning I look in a mirror,
and if I recognize me in the reflection, I go on with my day,”  and a third man says:
“I live in a manner just the opposite of what those two described.”
   One chap decided that his growing up would consist of never doing so.
      A state that can be stated is not where the rebel wants to live.
 


The real-deal-man is always on the run: the crime: an uncodified cranial criminality.


Conversation.
“A fool doesn’t care what he says.”
    “Neither does a realized man (although he says nothing).
      Lions neither fear nor avoid things natural to lions even if they be poison to others.
“Even if I understand what you’re saying  --  I still don’t like it.”
  (“Only in Humanville.”)
 

Tyrants with bad memories have all  their family executed (just to be on the safe side).
Synapses who understand their position, by so doing, expand  their position.
The fully realized, inner-magellan does not merely circumnavigate the world  --
he swallows it  --  whole.
   “Is this why ‘tis said: There is no such thing as being partially enlightened?!”
“Hey! --  who said that?”
The rebel’s exciting travels consist of constantly trying to jump aboard a passing train, which reaches its optimum exhilaration when he realizes he is the train.
   “Is this why ‘tis said: That can’t be so?  --   it’s insane!”
If you say so.
    It’s hard to pin down a butterfly in flight  --
    which is why the certain man devotes his thinking to his thinking.
 

Dialogue.
“There is one world on which everybody gets-it.”
     “Do they really get-it, or just imagine they do?”
“What’s it to you.”
     “I was afraid you were going to say that we lived on that world.”
Sharpie on aisle four!”
 

One man became convinced that if he could determine with reasonable accuracy
what per cent of human speech is entirely unnecessary,
he would free himself from its grip.
He had a friend whose motto was: “Not charity but: pseudo-science begins at home”  --   which infuriated the first man.
No one likes to be told that what they are seriously engaged in is a waste of time   --
   “Yeah, especially if the activity is: being themselves.”
“Dear Sir: I don’t know which of your stories I dislike most: the ones I don’t get,
or the ones I do.
Yours,” etc.
 

One man set the bar unusually high for himself;
then after realizing for himself the true nature of the track meet,
began to employ a standard which no one (including his own mind) could measure.
          Only when you run
          against only the wind  --
          can you win.
“I regret that I have but one sacrifice to sacrifice.                                          (No I don’t).”
 

Being personable is a trap  --  if your personableness is in charge thereof.
Eagles only become eagles and fly after breaking their shell and leaving the nest.
Creatures who are only what they are never become fully what they could  be.
Call yourself Hubert, and always be Hubert Lite  --  Hubert-Incomplete.
Being personable is a trap  --  if your personable self is in charge thereof;

in this regard: extreme shallowness is supreme success.


In a singularly appreciated faux attempt to put himself on an equal footing
with the rest of humanity one man periodically says to himself:
“We are in the midst of a catastrophe  --  but no one knows what it is.”

The only humor for the certain man is private.


“Dear Sir: I think the reason you refer to people who are interested in
whatever the hell it is you talk about, as: 'the certain man'
is to make them sound more important than they are.  Yours,” etc.
 

Update: If you can’t blame yourself  --   you don’t deserve to be in the herd!


If you have no creative talent, the thing to do then is: talk endlessly about yourself.
(Time Saver Tip: It is never necessary to say that you are not being vain before doing this.)
 

The International Sheltie Society has filed suit to stop one religion from
identifying itself as: “Man’s Best Friend.”
 

As a lesson in what it is to use only the thinking facilities automatically available to man, one father had his son sit down with his forearms resting on his thighs
until his feet went to sleep, then told him to stand up and walk.
 

              Would-be con men constantly loiter --
              in fear they will miss the big con when it comes along.

One man finally realized the one way out of debt.

Question: Who never gets-it  --  guaranteed?         ---              Those who never see the humor in it.
