That Makes Absolutely No Sense At All

An aphorism is a short proverb that’s almost a cliche. Here are those I hast corrupted.

  • The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach—then out his small intestine, large intestine, and sphincter.

  • Necessity is the mother of Turducken.

  • The only way round is through. That’s how you eat a cupcake.

  • Monkey see, monkey doodle.

  • “Home sweet home” is the beginning of childhood obesity.

  • The early bird catches the worm still passed out on the front lawn, in the bushes, from last night’s party.

  • An apple a day keeps Steve Jobs at bay.

  • United we stand, divided we do our algebra homework.

  • Home is where the heart is. Living room is where the butt is.

  • Never look a gift horse in the mouth. It might be full of noodles.

For the backstory on this humor thing, see my previous post, I Can Learn To Be Funny?

Thank you, Jennifer! Phew, sometimes I don't know what works and what doesn't.

You're On My Mind, For $1,000

It has not escaped me that I have a somewhat profuse forehead. Or rather, a fivehead. The “high forehead” was thought to be much attractive in the 15th through 16th centuries, when wealthy gentleladies plucked their way to highbrowed beauty. Admirers took note of the greater brainpan and refined intelligence. (“My, my. Look at thee fo’ead on that one. Hubba hubba.”) Alas, today we no longer live in the Middle Ages, those pox-filled days of easy beauty. Those of us left behind, showing proof of high intelligence as we do, need to make do. So.... One day, a dame with a dome has a bright idea: Advertising Revenue. Then an even better, more refined idea: But a genius idea needs geniuses to buy into it. That’s where you come in. For example, say you’re an overpaid advertising executive. You’re gearing up to promote a dentist, electronics giant, and/or hemorrhoid creme. Or household goods and Sea-Monkeys. I don’t need to explain to you the power of the visual medium. So, without further ado.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!
