We begin a new educational series with:
New definitions for crazy: Heshe has joined the herd. Doesn’t matter which herd. Liberals’, conservatives’, Beck’s or Matthews’ – they’re all herds, and you’ve got to lose your own mind and use the leader’s to join.
BP. And people who believe anything they say.
Not new, but indispensable as a definition: Congress
We’d add government agencies, but it would take too much space to name them.
Weather forecasters and people who believe them.
Ditto stock market forecasters and people who believe them.
Following the link in an email that says your bank account has been screwed up and you need to change your password by clicking here.
Following the course labeled “recommended” on your computer screen. It always costs more.
And now some new words recently added to our dictionary. We recommend you change to the new ones immediately. (Did you fall for that one?)
New words for customer service: customer disservice. As in only machines do it in America. If you want a live voice you gotta go to India and listen to someone you can’t possibly understand. Listening to that could also be a def for crazy.
New word for minivan: fatvan. We have noticed, haven’t we, that they all look like somebody lost an extra ton of sheet metal on their rears?
New words for get and again: git and agin. Even the big network shows are converting, and to be a member of the herd, so should you.
Now let’s stop this craziness before we realize we’re already there.
As Siggy put it: “…we men… find reality generally quite unsatisfactory” – Sigmund Freud, Psychoanalysis (1910)
