What do you do ... *sigh* ... when the world owes you something ? This is a question I've been mulling over in my mind for a long time now . ... Now , considering that my definition of the world includes essentially EVERYTHING on this earthly sphere , I could assume that , since the world took my joy away - and this was years ago - and since there isn't a whole lot of joy in this world anyway ( certainly not enough to redistribute toward me , for compensation ) the world - which must surely have a relative surplus ( relative to the amount of joy it harbors ) amount of citizens of China - might give me one of these ( Chinese citizens ) . To me , this would be like getting the stick ... the short end of one , to be precise . Not so much the Alright ! Alright ! I can already tell this post is going to be a disaster if it continues on like it is ( i . e . not being funny or " clever " , and not even being the set-up for something funny or clever ) . So now , to make up for the time you've already wasted reading this , I will quote a passage from an ancient astronaut book ; a passage that always gets a chuckle from myself ... and from my brain , which I count as a separate entity ... Before we get to the quote , a little trivia about the creation of this post : After I typed the line about my brain , and after I typed the three periods after that line ( I don't know how to spell the word that is given to those three periods , so I'm not even going to try ) I didn't have the ancient astronaut book in front of me to quote from , so I had to struggle past a few feet of distance to retrieve the tome from my collection . ( licking my lips ) And then ... ! And then , when I got to the stack that is my collection , I at first couldn't locate this particular book among the stack , and for a second thought about just returning to the computer and making a joke about how I couldn't find the book , since incompetence - particularly when applied to bicyclists , which , by the way , has no bearing here - is funny . Of course , not locating a book does not necessarily smack of incompetence , but then I found the book among several I had already examined thoroughly for the title I was looking for . ... No , actually , I'm making things much grander than they were - the truth is , I didn't search thoroughly , and I didn't find the book among ones I had already examined ; in fact , I just hadn't yet lifted up the book that was on top of it , concealing it . ... Wait , no ... After typing what I've just typed since I retrieved the book - and that typing has taken somewhere in the neighborhood of ten minutes - I really don't remember how I finally spotted the book . Further , I don't quite get what I mean by " finally " , since it only took me about a minute to walk over to my books , spill them on the floor , and find the one I was looking for . Of course , all of this is just speculation at this point , since when I'm typing as I am now , my mind enters some other realm of consciousness wherein all I perceive is the concept and image of a flesh-colored finger , racing around a key board trying to find the letter ... r , in the most recent case . And so I'm only thinking about pressing buttons , and not , I assure you , what I'm pressing those buttons about . And I've just slipped out of this altered state long enough to realize that I need to specify what color of flesh-color the aforementioned racing finger was and is : white . And imagine a deep , yet soothing female voice saying that word , " white " ; your enjoyment of hearing that word in your mind will thus be multiplied a googleplex-fold . Anyway , that was all trivia about this post that you can share with your friends , making them respond - " N'uh uh ! Where'd you hear that ? " And you can say ... " From him " , pointing west if you're east of me ; east if you're west of me ; north if you're south of me ; and south if you're north of me . Just drop me a line , telling me where you live , and all this will be settled .
Now , as for the quote from the ancient astronaut book ... Mankind - Child of the Stars , page 148 - "How can our supposedly infallible laws of natural selection endow and maintain penis bones in the large primates and in the largest mammal families and then , in one fell swoop , give Man and only Man the largest primate brain as well as no penis bone ?
