“Turn off he lights!”

 

 

Men dream of destinations to cut down on the expenditure of travel-energy.
(Plus, the ordinary find it great-fun also.)

 

 

One thinker privately and periodically thought to himself:
"I'll be damned if I'm not probably the damndest person I've ever met."
(And added: "But don't tell anyone.")

 

 

Financial News From The World Of The Intellect:
When the crude are cornered they will begin to:
Quote scripture,
sing patriotic songs,
point to the color of their skin,
and tell how their mama just died,
and they have cancer themselves.
Yes, yes: In The Land Of Spheres -- The news is the news is the news.

 

 

One man named his own "Business-of-thinking" as:
"Metaphors 'R Us."

 

 

In part, civilized progress can be described as having gone, in some respects from private desperations to public demands for the collective's help.

 

 

The newly-activated area of one man's mind said to him:
"I don't take credit cards."

 

 

To the truly civilized -- not much is really of a "laughing matter" -- oh, I know they'll say that there is -- and even sometimes try and fake it, but they still don't believe that very much at all in life is fit sport for a hearty, healthy chuckle-and-snort.

Yet another excuse to keep from thinking!

 

 

Then there was this other man who momentarily found himself by himself, and acted like he was two people so that he could have the following conversation: First man says: "Why do dumb people pretend to be intelligent?"
And the second man replied: "Why do men going bald grow beards?!"

 

 

Not long after they're born, those who can't think, think:
"I'll get rich! I'll dress nicely! I'll get myself into a position of power!"
Yes sir-ree, boys and girls -- that'll do it, all right.

 

 

Those of limited comprehension like to speak in specific examples -- using, for example, such ones (noted at random) as: "The European attitude," "A Christian view," "The 'Me' generation," "A sixties' mentality," and like that.

 

 

A certain parent finally relented and told his child:
"Okay kid, I do understand your humor, and where your head is coming-from, vis-a-vis those older people about you, so -- okay -- you can go ahead for the time being and be a sarcastic smart-ass – but you gotta do it in complete secrecy so that no one will ever even suspect."
(The lad thought: "I can live with that.")
Those who do not yet understand civilization to be totally a matter -- and, only a matter, of appearances -- ain't themselves civilized worth dog doo.
"Do you, Punch & Judy, Adam & Eve, Sally & Gomorrow, take this city to be your lawfully wedded mate?"
"We do."
