Funny Names
/Found writ on a rest room wall, just over in that other world with walls:
“Fear the surgeon with an un-blooded scalpel, but not so the knight with a similar sword.”
One guy, of a pretty rambunctious nature, directed in his will that his tongue be diced and distributed to the dogs.
At a recent combination “going-away” and “home-coming” party one guest said, “People with funny names act funny.” (I dare not mention his moniker.)
After being informed that once the twelve notes in an octave are played, they simply then repeat themselves again and again; this one lad, surveying the many notes on the keyboard before him exclaimed, “Well, to hell with most of them then.”
I suppose as further evidence, (if indeed further be required), of the continuing lack of synchronization between the perverse postures of fate, and man’s feeble acts, a certain gentleman told me that even after all of the expense of changing his name to Shakespeare, and after all of the effort of moving to Stratford, that the British literary establishment still wouldn’t lend him fifteen hundred pounds.
