Share my Thoughts

 

I was sitting there in front of the TV. There was nothing on except dust on the screen. When I mentioned it to my wife she threw a dust cloth at me and gave me the silent treatment. I closed my eyes and started thinking, or continued thinking ... I seem to be doing it all the time these days.

We'd been to a restaurant the previous evening and we had calamari. That's squid not octopus.  

I thought, if I were an octopus I'd be able to slap eight stupid people at a time. Or hug one person tenderly.

There are plenty of stupid people these days. I wish we could export stupidity and make a fortune. 

My train of thoughts moved on from octopus to slugs. Do you realise that a slug is a naked snail? Why do people eat snails and not slugs? What's the difference with a bit of garlic sauce? With some vegetables on the side.

If you were to sit in a  hot bath with a lot of carrots, peas and other vegetables would you be in a right stew, I wonder?

What is the difference between a stew and a hot pot. Or a casserole?

What is the difference between a pot and a pan? 

Do people go to nudist camps to air their differences?

How did Adam and Eve know that they were naked? And how did they know which bits to cover? What if they had covered their elbows or knees? Can you imagine ... if they had covered their knees, today we would all be going round naked with knee-high socks. What a spectacle that would make! 

And how about that snake? If I were naked outdoors and met a talking snake I'd be afraid he might bite my bottom, not engage in a conversation with him. 

Why does my mind jump from one subject to another, sometimes related sometimes totally unrelated? Like the sky for instance. You can see the sun and the stars. They are things hanging up there. So are clouds. But what is the sky?

Is it a thing, or a reflection of the earth, the oceans, or whatever else? If it is a reflection, then what is it reflected on? Is there a mirror up there in outer space reflecting the seas and oceans?

I think it is time for me to have another drink of whisky. 

And it is time for you to invite friends to join Time for Reflections. I am told it is a great Blog.
