The Daily Reflections
of Jan Cox

 

A certain kid (after growing up in the city) remarked, "It still seems strange to me that after going to all the trouble to get my `decoder ring,' they stopped sending out the code."
(And all who suffered a similar fate softly hummed,
"S-t-r-a-n-g-e...")

 

 

To help roll-the-flow, the local god told the creatures in one part of one universe that two days a week, whatever they individually believed to be so, would be so--but, he wouldn't tell them which two days.

 

One man who didn't need glasses
wore some anyway:
he wore them for so long
that now he needs to take a leak--
just wanted to see who was alert.

 

 

Those who tell you:
"There are no great without the small"
are those who tell you
naught at all.

 

 

 

When this one guy finally did realize that everyone else really was serious about it all--he almost d-i-e-d from smiling.

 

 

Someone wrote the Advice Doctor and asked,
"If it were possible to think `independently and individually,' would everyone want to?"
and the doctor noted,
"I was tempted to respond by asking the writer
`What do YOU think?' but that too freely invites the possibility of him replying, "Well...let me check with my family and friends and see what they have to say."
...(Thus it is that the major neural networks are never in danger of ever "going under.")

 

 

.....Then the "Big Announcer" (off on a side-frequency,
for those with "special receivers"): "Remember, (all you `stimuli-freaks') although there ARE many stations along the dial, our principal product remains--Static!"

 

Whilst "in his cups" (and damn close to the saucers), one king giggled to himself, "I shall entertain no directness before its time." ...(The ole monarch oftentimes had a real ball, just he and himself.)

That same king looked upon his own mind as "his subjects." ("Hey, you weren't supposed to SAY THAT!")

 

Another of the ole rebel camp sergeants one day told a few of the young troopers, "Some of you've got it too easy on yourself--so take this: Go off and consider whether you repeat yourselves too often."
