There is no TRUTH.  There is no REALITY.  There is no CONSISTENCY.
There are no ABSOLUTE STATEMENTS   I'm very probably wrong.

"There is nothing which cannot be answered by means of my doctrine,"
said a monk, coming into a teahouse where Nasrudin sat.  "And yet just
a short time ago, I was challenged by a scholar with an unanswerable
question," said Nasrudin.  "I could have answered it if I had been
there." "Very well.  He asked, 'Why are you breaking into my house in
the middle of the night?'"

There is nothing wrong with Southern California that a rise in the
ocean level wouldn't cure.

There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and
that is not being talked about.
                -- Oscar Wilde

There is something fascinating about science.  One gets such wholesale

        He knew nothing at all,
And now he's a College Professor.

"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved

There was a plane crash over mid-ocean, and only three survivors were
left in the life-raft: the Pope, the President, and Mayor Daley.
Unfortunately, it was a one-man life-raft, and quickly sinking, so they
started debating who should be allowed to stay.

The Pope pointed out that he was the spiritual leader of millions all
over the world, the President explained that if he died then America
would be stuck with the Vice-President, and so forth.  Then Mayor Daley
said, "Look!  We're not solving anything like this!  The only fair
thing to do is to vote on it."  So they did, and Mayor Daley won by 97
votes.
