what?
Anna, excuse me.
I was being frivalous.
In English we call the nerve near the elbow
the 'funny bone'.
So I was just making a silly joke.

Was it SERIOUS
Maybe serious is not the best word.
S/times it seems that egos persist
with argument instead of really listening.
The big symptom is wanting to have the last word!
When this happens ... its gets boring
and what I named (or mis-named) serious.

Since things neither exist nor don't exist,
are neither real nor unreal,
are utterly beyond adopting and rejecting,
one might as well burst out laughing.

Oh Anna ... while we have fewer paradoxes
downunder we do have the platapus!
Now there's a natural paradox.
Lives in water and burrow,
lays eggs,
is a mammal (secretes milk through its skin)
has a bill and webbed feet.
And they are so cute .. also indicate that the
water/river is clean.
