My dad, Kent Twyman, used to work for the Houston Post and one of his long-time accounts was a nursury called "Paul's Greenthumb". Kent would prepare the copy for the add and also do a "lay-out" by phsically cutting and pasting the different sections of paper using an exacto knife and rubber cement. Nowadays, it is all done with computers. Kent would write some text every week and in the center of the Paul's Greenthumb add put in a little humorous story that not everyone would get. There was even a guy that my parents knew who would save the adds one time when they were at a party, the guy read them to the group to make everyone laugh. Kent wouldn't have ever done that himself. It wasn't his style.
OK. The item that I am getting to is that in one of his Paul's Greenthumb adds, Kent said something about Paul not being intimidated by the sun. He said if there was any question about that people go see for themselves and just go visit Paul and take a look at his "Sunburned Tongue".
This morning I woke up thinking about "funny". The actual concept of funny and how it came to be. To me, if you really think about it, and you believe there is a god, then you would have to agree that God created "funny". That seems simple enough but ponder on that for a while. I could explain it to you better but that would not be as good as you figuring out all the implications for yourself.
