A Joke, A Review, A musing
An old cowboy goes into a bar and orders a drink. As he sits there sipping his whiskey, a young lady sits down next to him. She turns to the cowboy and asks him, "Are you a real cowboy?"
He replies, "Well, I've spent my whole life on the ranch, herding horses, mending fences, and branding cattle, so I guess I am."
She says, "I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women. When I shower or watch TV,everything seems to make me think of women."
A little while later, a couple sits down next to the old cowboy and asks him, "Are you a real cowboy?"
He replies, "I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian."
This joke is from a book I'm reading called Plato and a Platypus walk into a Bar. It's about understanding philosophy through jokes. It's been really amusing. It's funny. I took a class called classics of western philosophy last semester. This book hits on a lot of the points we covered. It's been a really good review, a pretty hilarious one too. I haven't finished it yet, but it's a nice short book - something light before school starts again.
In other news, I'm really enjoying James Joyce too. I'm almost done with A portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I'd definitely recommend it, if you like that sort of thing.
