About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If you are an idiot, you're at least not a total idiot ;)

ABOUT ME

What am I? The most essential question right away?! Give mankind another couple of thousand years and then I'll answer ;)

PHILOSOPHY

... ah, finally philosophy: I like to look at the result of what you get by negating twice in these two short stories...(the truth is in what you don't say and don't get):

Guest to waiter: "I would like to have coffee, but without cream"
Waiter:"Sorry, we ran out of cream, but we have milk, so I can bring you coffee without milk?"

or same, but in a different context:

Man in shop:"Do you have butter?"
Shopkeeper:"Sorry, we are the shop that has no toiletpaper, the shop that does not have butter is on the other side of the street"

The invisible other:

Patient: Dr., I do panic a lot, because I think I am a corn!
Dr.: And why would you panic about it?
Patient: Because I am afraid that the chicken eats me!
Dr: I treat you and you will know you are not a corn, so no need to be afraid.

5 weeks later:
Dr: Welcome back, I hope my treatment did good on you and you know that you are not a corn!!
Patient: Yes, I know, but does the chicken know??? :) :)

OMG, it took me decades to experience these things, how am I supposed to put it down in a few sentences?
