Toward Developing A Proper Sense Of Humor

Once he is up to speed, a real revolutionist doesn't have any particular set methods for what he does; he just does what he does---sort of along the, No Two R's Approach.
(No Rules, No Rituals)

One teacher told his class: "As some of you have already suspected, those who refer to history to prove their point do not possess an understanding of what they are talking about. Now it's recess time; go out and play in your own era."

Near the central city reflecting pool has been a man, who for the last four days has been demanding to know if those who say that "What goes up must come down" have personally been to both locales.

Perhaps the best protection
against having to actually be creative
is not to be and pretend that you are.

When he read the line, "Not all those buried in the churchyard are saints," this one fellow reflected on the various genetic noises rattling about in his own nervous system and thought,
"Hell--all those buried in the churchyard ain't even dead!!"

One man wanted to tell his offsprings:
"In the music that is your life,
you can't merely sing the notes,
but rather should respond to their shape
and concerns which are the song."

To lose a game in the city is no sin.
To notice it--might be.

As the noontime crowd ate their sandwiches and mulled about, one of the park philosophers took to the assigned spot and said, "In this life, those who feel 'powerless' ARE either powerless, or particularly intelligent, or deranged, or else they got off at the wrong bus stop."
Someone in the crowd threw a pickle.

In one land, as some began to gain an understanding of left-over "primary background noise," a group came forward with the aim and slogan of "Grease The Weasels."

One guy's advice to his self:
"If it's to your advantage,
do it!"

The fact that the collectively hip, in pursuit of the latest fashion, pass for being creative should come as no surprise to some of you who live in that part of the world where the first five thousand ticket holders all get to sit in the seat directly behind home plate….
As Wild Bill Obnoxious gazed out over the dusty plains and the agitated buffalo, he mused to his faithful companion, Chief Wild Bill Obnoxious II, "You do realize that when enough of the herd all decide to go in the same direction, they feel it to be a kind of 'individuality through companionship'"?
(Due to the conditions under which both of the Wild Bills had been raised, neither wanted to be the first to cast stones or anything else at the nearby noble and quite large beasts.)

In a nearby, more advanced universe
than ours, the newspapers, to protect their reputations,
each day publish "corrections" in advance.
Did I say, "more advanced?"…..what I meant to say was,
"non-existent."

One local god decided,
"Just to keep things simple
I'll make 'em all think
that feeling depressed is normal."

During the recent convention of the Writer's Guild, one speaker said, "Books are often wiser than their readers." And a man leapt to his feet in the audience and cried out, "Hell, books are oftimes wiser than their authors!"

You might think that the only fitting and proper thing to do with a discovery is to announce it; but if you're a revolutionist you might oughta think again.
