All kings know that humor can’t be jailed, fined or put on probation; it can only be executed—and the sooner the better!
Incongruity is the soul of discovery (unless you “know what you’re doing” and then you’re not going to discover anything anyway.)
Once a year, on the dot, at the spot, this one man would call all his children together and announce, “You’re not my children.”
(They and he were always greatly relieved-and-freed, and would celebrate with preemptive abandon.)
To be completely constructive,
or totally disruptive
requires a machine
with no second thoughts.
Just as he died, one ruler proclaimed, “History will exonerate me!”
and history said, “You better bring several changes of underwear.”
