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.
...there's little to see on TV these days.
ReplyDelete... apart from dust.
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
I like your train of thought, Victor, even when it does go off the rails. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanx Martha. It's a style of writing perfected by James Joyce who I had to study for my Literature exams years ago.
DeleteGod bless.
Victor you must have a lot of time to think! lol. Although I do follow your train of thought like Martha said.
ReplyDeleteNext station, "Jack Daniels" whisky, then a bottle of "Jim Beam" then ...

ReplyDeleteSo many questions swirling in my head, Bill.
DeleteGod bless always.
I do enjoy when you share your thoughts, it makes me realize I might not be so crazy after all. Just teasing! I enjoy your fun, funny and delightful posts, whether they make me laugh or think or both.
ReplyDeleteThere are always serious questions to answer, Mimi. Like, really ... what is the sky? Is it a mirror reflecting the oceans?
DeleteGod bless you.
I ain't eating no slug! Nor a snail either for that matter. Love you my friend enjoy your wit, but KNOW you pay for the wit at times when the word 'wife' is used. But on the serious side, I take time to read this line and smile every time I come here:
ReplyDeleteIt is no point having faith in a Master who walks on water if we do not trust Him enough to follow Him.
Love from the state of Pennsylvania, but we head south in the AM. BTW: THANKS!
Seriously Jack - thank you for your friendship and kindness to me. Yes, we say we trust our Lord, but are we willing to follow in His footsteps?
DeleteBest wishes in your travels my friend. Praying for you and Sherry and your family. God bless.
Sometimes ... there are more questions than answers!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
