Oh blimey, got distracted again. Why can't I stick to the point? You know, sometimes I wish I had the ability to switch off certain bits of my mind. Then perhaps I would be better able to concentrate on the job in hand. How I managed to get distracted today of all days is an absolute mystery, because my dear friends what happened last night was of such mind blowing importance, that nothing else, and I do mean nothing else, in this world should matter.
Let me explain. Oh good, I hear you exclaim, finally, he is going to get to the point. Really now, there is no need for sarcasm! Please, let me get on. This is so important.
I woke up this morning in an extremely heightened state of excitement indeed! No, not that! Please! No, something really exciting happened. Something of, and I don't say this lightly, worldwide significance. This morning, ladies and gentlemen, I, John Bain, of the tiny parish of Yapton, in the district of Arundel, part of the county of West Sussex, somewhere in England, discovered, wait for it, wait for it, discovered....
THE MEANING OF LIFE!
As I lay there, alone, in my bed, tears filled my eyes, as the realisation dawned, as to what this actually meant. My life would be transformed of course. There would be television interviews. Journalists would besiege my humble abode. People, women mostly, I hoped, would throw themselves at my feet, maybe even into my bed! No sorry, that is wrong, I'm getting carried away again. Scientists would write weighty tomes on my discovery. This blog, would take on far greater significance, than it currently does. The statistics page would go into meltdown. I would, it goes without saying, be world famous.
Briefly I thought about writing down, what I had discovered. But then, laughing at myself, after all, how was I going to forget something this important..? I didn't bother, and drifted off, back into sleep.
Why, oh why, didn't I write it down? It has gone. The meaning of life? Sorry, but I haven't a clue! I have let you down. I have let the world down. I am so sorry, truly I am. I shall go back to sleep, that's what I'll do. Maybe, just maybe. I'll be given a second chance!
I will say it again, I am so, so sorry.
What more can I say?
Grrrr! You Rotter. The suspense will probably kill me. Perhaps in future you should write it down with an indelible pencil (do they still make them) so that your fans will at least know what you've been talking about. Oh my, oh my, some people sure take the biscuit!
ReplyDeleteThe Meaning Of Life! To have known it for even a brief moment is something. That is all the longer you were meant to know. Most of us won't get that.
ReplyDeleteIt is better to have found the meaning of life and lost it than to never have found it at all :)
ReplyDeleteSee, this is why everyone needs a small spiral notebook and a pencil or pen on their bedside table. The same thing happens with dreams; if you wait to write them down, you'll certainly forget them.
ReplyDeletelol and I thought you were going to enlighten me. Love the new photo of the steam tractor.(is that what it is?)
ReplyDeleteWell go back to sleep and maybe it will come again. I need to know!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture too.
John...you entertained me...yet...again.LOL!
ReplyDeleteI suggest you get in touch with Monty Python. They had a few thoughts on that. I'd love to help you but unfortunately I haven't at this point of time discovered it myself. If I stumble upon it you will be the first to be told.
ReplyDeleteDrats and I was getting all excited. Love your sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens :) I love the new header. B
