Raising
wheat is serious --
story-telling is not;
it
may well be more entertaining to civilized men than the former,
but the fact remains.
Conversation.
“What’s
the funniest thing in human existence?”
“Teenage angst.”
“And
second?”
“Middle aged angst....no....wait, maybe I've got that backwards…
I always get confused about this....uhhh?....”
Verbally
describing Life
changes your relationship TO Life.
In
a subtle attempt to give credence to what are, in fact, merely his
personal
opinions,
one
man liberally sprinkles his comments with the term, “of course.”
(This of course
makes him appear a fool to intelligent people.)
A
lad asked his dad:
“Do
things not active actually exist?” – and the elder replied:
“There is a quiescent area of your own brain to which this question
could be more
appropriately put.”
Treating
any matter in second-reality solemnly, regardless of how seriously it
may
be taken by everyone else, is the height of preposterousness.

comes breakfast – then, story-telling –
including
ones about what you had
for
breakfast yesterday and what you'll have tomorrow.

a chap: “Why is it that if you read deeply enough into their lives,
it
seems that all the great men of history were also kind of weird?”
At
this year’s, Hey! --
Look At Us convention, the lead
speaker
had these
inspiring
words:
“Just
as those of superior intellect have said that they:
‘Stand
on the shoulders of the giants who have gone before them’ –
we
pinheads too have a similar prior support network.”

The
way you can tell those who are part of the World-wide-conspiracy is that
they

Yes,
for many years, exploratory ships bound for the uncharted western
horizon
were
launched from Gibraltar;
then,
as man’s understanding of physics and the other sciences became more
sophisticated,
they began sending them off from the harbor below.

Dialogue.
“What
is man’s most futile act?”
“Trying to shame the uncivilized into being so.”
“What
about trying to reform the snippy?”
“Yeah ....I'm always getting their order confused....”
A
man standing on the steps of City Hall made the following declaration:
“Words
are as counterfeit as the lives of the men who live in accordance
therewith,”
and a woman in a nice dress who was passing by stopped long enough to
ask:
“Exactly
what does that mean?” The gentleman bowed and graciously replied:
“Madam
– I'm sure I don’t know – I do not work here.”
Rhetorical
Moral: A proverb that won't readily
fly in the skies of the city,
will
crash & burn! – and whose fault is that? –
the proverb’s pilot? –
or
the peoples’ chintzy landing strip of comprehension?”
Said
a father to a son:
“A
neural revolutionist laughs in everyone's face yet keeps anyone from
being
aware
of it. (In fact, he doesn’t literally do
what I just described).”
“So why’d you even mention it?”
“Because
what he does do is close enough to warrant your considering
the matter for yourself in greater detail.”

A
self-proclaimed “reformed” anything will always prove a dunce.
Many
things fuel man’s second-reality – but they're all the same
thing
–
and
no residing there realizes what it is.

Life
helps compensate men for the fear
&
uncertainly they feel once they have
a
functioning mind and realize they don’t know what’s going on, by having
them confidently say to one another: “Yeah, I now pretty well know
what’s
going on.”
(And
of course when they're back home alone they can still:
wash
out their mouths with soap for saying it,
wring
their hands in despair,
fall
on their knees in prayer,
and
moan the confused-blues just like they wanted to do in public with
their
peers.)

The
funny thing about the clues the special-investigator needs to ever
crack-the-case
is
that they are no where to be found – no where outside
the investigator.
“Wow! – I'll bet that is one tricky fact to ever realize, huh?!”
