Calendar Days

Just ripped off the first page of the Gary Larson Far Side Calendar; you’ve got to love that guy. Some of the best things in life are very, very funny. Perhaps we should protest in Washington; we just don’t have enough funny guys on the Supreme Court. pie in your eyeClarence Thomas is burnt out and should stop clowning around; after all it takes more than one clown to stop a date with a pie. Somehow I doubt that the new series (First Monday) based on the Supreme Court is going to be a sit. com., but then again you never know. Maybe the first episode will be paid for by Coca Cola, and will feature a guest appearance by Anita Hill. She turns out to be a beautiful drag queen spurned by the homophobic Thomas, but only after the hidden facts are revealed in chambers. The cliff hanger, end of the season episode would find the now diagnosed with cancer Thomas, cruising the local drag queen haunts in search of a joint to ease the nausea associated with his chemo treatments. In the final minutes of the show we find him under the influence of the drug (“without medical benefits” –Clarence Thomas); we’re left to wonder over the summer if he will consummate his reunion with the beautiful Anita who provided the evil weed.

Do you think everything is funny?

Mostly yes. It’s a point of view kind of thing. It’s when the laughter goes against your “cherished” point of view that we tend to chafe at the bit. Be it a bit part, a bitter pill or a bit more than you can handle when the laughter stops the bitterness sets in. If you find yourself with a bitter taste in your mouth, it might be good time to take your foot out.

“Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.”

–George Bernard Shaw
