The Daily Reflections
of Jan Cox

Over just that way, a man said, "The best thing about not having a basement is that you don't ever have to go down there."

As a small, interim prize, one local reality asked a guy if he'd like to, "Have the facts," or, "Get the details"?

(Some guys have all the luck.)

A certain god, in an effort to appear "more humane," killed a million people in the presence of a thousand others, then to the thousand, he gave each one, one of his cards, shook their hands individually, and told them they could leave. (When you're a big shot, you can do things like that....whether they work or not.) After hearing this story one man said to the most active part of his brain, "Why can't you be more like that!"

Secretly to himself, this one man ended everything he said with a kind of funny little question mark.....?

As soon as the flashbulbs started popin', the bands started playin', and the waiters started servin', a gentleman leaped onto the registration desk, poured cheap champagne into his cuffs and declared in a ringing voice, "If man did have a choice--if he did have a choice, I say it would be to either be a creator, a critic, or a satirist." (With that he began shouting, "Wheeeee!" and jumping all about like a man real excited, or somethin'.)

THE QUESTION According to One Man:
For your own internal, family reunion and dinner,
what's the brain supposed to bring?

The true beauty of all arrangements
is that they exist at all--to be noticed.

(A thing admirable without the addition of adjectives,
is being seen through revolutionist eyes.)

One man who wasn't lame began to use crutches; he used them for so long that he now needs to wear glasses...
(Alertness, troops--always a matter of alertness--which is why city thinking has no particular love for the unexpected.)

"Well, one thing you can say for sports," noted a chap apparently no ardent fan, "is that while the guys are playing, at least they can't talk about themselves."

More Weird Tales From Weird Willie's World:
One man who watches the news on television every day says he now watches it with the sound off--and he says it has the same significance.
...."Hey, dude," chides a reader, "that ain't all that weird.")
