A gene told its kid: They're all gonna die 'cept, you and I.
And some near-by thoughts objected:
"How come you always leave us out of this!?"

 

 

One ole sorehead's slogan for life is:
"If it ain't broke -- it must be somebody else's."

 

 

Encouragement Time:
It is possible to think more and more clearly
than you do now –
if you can do it.

 

 

One man's mirror inquired of him:
"How dumb do you have to be to not know that you're dumb?"

 

 

Impossible Time:
Some of the most interesting stuff
a real thinker knows --
he made up.

 

 

Two kids talking:
First kid: "Some animals can run on 'auto pilot'."
Second kid: "All men can."
And third kid says: "Yeah -- but they're not 'sposed to."

 

 

The perception of knowledge as "tangible" performs as an imaginary shuttlecock in an illusionary game of badminton often played in city minds and yards.

 

 

One man's mercantile turn-of-mind lead him to adopt this personal maxim:
"If there's 'not-enough-to-go-around' -- then you've got to 'go-around' some more."

 

 

Being able to think nonpartisanly is like finally being able to understand things without simply having to compare them.

 

 

A Hint For The Bent:
About all it really takes to be "civilized" is to take other people seriously. "Jeepers," thought a lad, “that's so simple even I could do it!” Though, scratching his head, he said. "I'll be doo-dah-damned if I know why I'd want to!" Hey, all you chil'en over there! Quit horsin' around, and stand up straight and be solemn -- like your elders and your betters.
(You see, studio audience, the trick-term in the above is that if you are truly a chile, and, young'un -- you ain't got no "betters"!)

 

 


A viewer raises this, his personal "point":
"This -- 'non-partisan, thinking-for-yourself' thing --
not only sounds like an activity without-a-purpose --
but in fact begins to strike me as a purpose without-a-purpose!"
(No response requested -- none offered.)

 

 

Yes kiddies and viewers -- more "Definitions":
Ordinary People Being Serious:
Clowns without make-up.

 

 

To be aligned
with the collective mind,
is to be too closely tied
to the dead & gone.

 

 

Consumer Alert & Household Tip:
When men, who have a "serious philosophy of life to live by,"
don't get their way, they have a tendency to wet the bed.
