Here's
Your Sign
Comedian Bill Engvall has a gimmick, a chunk of his
act devoted to something called "Here's Your Sign".
Bill's theory is that the world is over populated by
humans whose capacity for critical observation is hampered
by a severe neuron deficit and that they'd all be
doing
everyone else a favor if
they would just wear a sign signifying they're
dumb as
a box
of Bolivian claw hammers.
You know the people I'm talking about. They're the
ones who approach your blackboard where you're trying
to
solve
the Schrodinger's paradox of superposition and they
say "Is that a dead cat?" and you reply "No one really
knows. Here's your sign."
At which point the inquisitor would be presented with
a placard bearing the printed message, in big red letters,
"Caution: Mitigated Cogitate " and be summarily
encouraged to display it in a prominent place on or
about their persons.
This may seem ridiculous but, in fact, there
already exist many such people in this world who wear
such signs and, in fact, wear
them
proudly. Just look for the words "Trump 2016".
------------
Ross Perot.
"Who the bloody fuck is Ross Perot?" I imagine hearing
some of you muttering to yourself.
Mr.
Perot, our last great third-party presidential candidate
had, as a businessman, some unusual ideas about government
but he wasn't bat-shit crazy ora world-class lying
sack of shit like donald Trump. Please,
do yourself a favor and go read about Mr. Perot and
his strange odyssey through the 1992 and 1996 presidential
elections.
