APHORISMS OF THE HALF-MAD AND THE DISTURBINGLY SANE.

If a man has no sense of humour, he is mad;
and can never aspire to the dignity of being
called a great man, or even a good man.


Why is it I find horror movies funnier
than comedies? Is this a cause for concern?
Well, I'm not concerned.

                               *

Just because I like to whine a bit and be
taken care of by an attractive woman -
this does not make me weak. In fact,
just the opposite.

Manipulation is the way of the world,
and I am no innocent in the procedure.

                                 *
Fame? 
People stare at you in restaurants.
Power? 
You lose it.
Cash? 
Cash is more interesting.

                               *
        I sat down on a cement block at the corner
Ferguson and McIntyre Streets in this smallish
Northern City between two lakes
        This is my new sport - sitting on corners
and absorbing the atmosphere. I was
breathing the air deeply and getting centered
on the spot.
         Two northern women passed me on the
sidewalk. They were laughing about something.
One woman said to the other:

" I PAY ALL THE BILLS AND HE BEATS ME!"

This is what they were laughing at...

I find this quite remarkable.

What character!
