The Humour Club discussion

It seems to me that The [Grand and Glorious] Humour Club is missing an opportunity to share those bits of philosophy that can genuinely improve the lives of our membership. When you come across a bit of valuable, highly-insightful, truly Earth-shaking philosophical thought, post it here.

For example:

If you see the road not taken, take it. What the hell, you're already lost anyway.

The real reason that it's so easy to be philosophical about life.

Rats. I missed the boat on that one...

So, re-launch the boat! We've revived worse!

Not philosophical per se, but my favorite meme about the philosopher, Noam Chomsky:

Nice one, however...

Instantly arguable. Is that philosophy or just common sense?

I guess the real philosophical question is "Where does he spit the seeds?"

Or given that it's Chomsky, we might be concerned about whether or not the watermelon has a secret, political agenda.

What the hell, Dylan? Are you making fun of America's Great Watermelon Conspiracy?

That's hardly fair. I mean, do we make fun of the Canadian's Flapper Pie Debacle?

Let's all try to be more diplomatic, shall we...and pass the maple syrup before my pancakes get cold, please.

Ceci n'est pas une watermelon.

Hey, enough about the flapper pie. English speaking Canada is very bitter of poutine's dominance in the world of cuisine.

Thank you, Jay!

I like Joe's approach:

All hail Joe Strummer!

Finally, mankind has discovered the perfect philosophy!

Sounds reasonable.

And if neither work, go for something in the middle.

Only the lucky ones among us discover our purpose in life.

Existentialist thought for the day:

"Please wait while Microsoft configures your software."

Talk about long and boring...

So true.

Don't you just love a good quote?

Say what?

Ah, yes. The K.I.S.S. principle, as explained by a committee.

The philosophical view of our student loan programs.

Aristotle's treatise on "The Good Life" has been amended to include a chapter called, "Oops!"

Someone stole my philosophy!

Yep, sounds like me...

Gotta love Betty!

No, no, no, my dear! It's a LIFE philosophy. Life, as in work, and work, and more work, and pain, and divorce court, and kids that hate you... Screw it, pass me a cup.

The best seller is on the right.

DON'T give my kids any ideas!!

Holiday philosophy:

A touch of Eastern philosophy:

Most important in life is to know what you want.

Obviously, a weighty argument.

It's like looking in a mirror!

Zen... It's a good word to know for crosswords.

I tried mediation once - I totally get that little dude's problem with it. I also tried yoga, once (using a yoga DVD that some sadist gave me). I got so frustrated at how slowly the lady was talking and moving that I put the DVD on fast forward so it would be a more comfortable pace. One of my kids came in the room and said, "Uh, mom...I don't think that's how you're supposed to do yoga..."

It's true, yoga is frustrating. And as you get older, you come to the conclusion that if you're going to all the trouble to bend that way, there should at least be a nice chocolate chip cookie at the end...which defeats the purpose.

Then again, one really never knows what the purpose is supposed to be:

I know. What is with the yoga shit? There is chair yoga, laughing yoga, etc. Meditating is no different than counting sheep. When a person tells me they do yoga, I know they are a pretentious asshole. Am I too mean? Maybe...and don't get me started on Americans who claim to be Buddhists. It makes the Dalai Lama laugh, so I can laugh at them also.

Well, I've thought that doing some yoga (without the yogis and all) might be good for me, since it's all about flexibility, and if I were any more stiff I'd break when I sit down. Pilates is more my style, though. And I'm another with no patience for meditation.
