The Best Disguise

The one cry that even the most entrenched, blasé City dweller dreads to hear, “You gotta pay retail.”

An apropos slogan can be, “If it works, use it,” but a subtle zinger lurking there-about is the fact that if a Real Revolutionist “uses it” (whatever it is), it will work.

In the City, the most effective disguise of all is probably to go naked.

While believing himself free of “prying ears,” I heard a certain Revolutionist say to himself, “You know what particularly impresses me about you, that even just between us two, when I leave a provocative and inviting opening, you still decline to talk about yourself.”  (About as tough as a re-fried combat boot and a good bit more sensitive.)

I caught The Man Who Actually Knows How Life Works, talking again to some of his “That’s Entertainment” Church flock, and what he was saying was this: “Could any of you conceive of the possibility of ‘The Secret’ I refer to being, in fact, secret, because it might be ridiculous?  What if almost everyone had thought of ‘The Secret’ at least once in their life, but it was just so ridiculous that they forthwith forgot it?  Could you imagine such a ridiculous thing?  Can any of you conceive of such a ridiculous, albeit entertaining, possibility?”
