And you know something…

There were things the blathering idiot understood and there were things he didn’t. Sometimes, he tried to understand the things he didn’t. One day, he tried to understand why man was here. What was human kinds purpose on this earth? Were we here to glorify a god or gods? Were we here to glorify gold? Were we here to learn all we could learn and then leave it behind when we die? Were we here to love and laugh, or suffer and cry?

I not only don't know why we're here

"And you know something else. I not only don't know why we're here, I'm sure I don't want to know."

He even asked the bartender, who offered him one or two words, but mostly grinned and grunted noncommittally. The bartender tried changing the subject by asking a sports question or two, but the blathering idiot would not change the subject, even when the bartender changed the channel on the TV and turned up the sound.

The blathering idiot tried and tried to tease an answer out of the question. Finally, after having written for an hour on bar napkins and then thrown away all the answers he’d come up with, he picked up his root beer, took a swig, and proclaimed to the bartender while tapping on the bar, “And you know something else. I not only don’t know why we’re here, I’m sure I don’t want to know.”

He wasn’t sure, but the blathering idiot thought the bartender was happy with that answer.

Reform, it’s not what you think

It was a cold day and the wind was blowing. The Blathering Idiot and his friend, Gary, were walking to take place in a protest against some change they knew little about but felt had to be protest because somebody on the radio had told them so.

The Blathering Idiot turned to his friend and said, “You know, Gary, the biggest problem with reform is that it requires you to think.”

Gary paused for a minute, then said, “I hadn’t thought about that.”

"You know, Gary, the biggest problem with reform is that it requries you to think."

They stopped and looked at each other. First one minute passed. Then another, and another, each looking at the other.

“I think we’ve discovered something profound,” Gary said.

Finally, they decided to turn around and go back home, where at least they could think in a warm place.
