This blog wasn't supposed to happen; not yet. I was supposed to launch a couple of commercial blogs first. One of those two is under way. This one was supposed to wait, but it would not.
This might be sort of a Seinfeldian blog; a blog about nothing. My other blogs are/will be about particular topics. This one will be more of a rant.
Let's get started: While trying to fall asleep the other night, I instead thought of an original joke. I dedicate this joke to my sister Carol Ann, the ultimate cat person.
First, I wish to explain why Carol has attained such an honor. Carol is not merely a cat lover. Carol is a cat in human form. She has a cat's values, priorities, and sensibilities. She relates to her cats as peers, and her cats understand this. For instance: When I e-mailed Carol the joke I'm about to tell you, a cat joke, she did not respond. I was not offended. Cats find cat jokes to be beneath them; it would only make sense if Carol feels the same way.
The joke:
What would be a feline punctuation mark?
A catastrophe! And it would look like this: >'<
Cat whiskers (><) + apostrophe (little cat nose) = catastrophe.
The purpose of a catastrophe is to signify a pause of indefinite duration. When you use the catastrophe, you are saying to your reader, “I'm going to stop writing for a while. I don't know when I'll be back. I might have something to eat, or bathe, or nap, or some combination of these choices. I don't know and it doesn't matter, and it's really none of your business, anyway.” Think like a cat and you'll understand.
>'<
Stay tuned... ...more tomorrow.
