Question: "Is life but a joke?"... Maybe, becoming more so, by the day?

To all those around the Watchtower,

Is this but a joke?

Yes, it is.

This is not a joke:

Yet, this truly IS a Joke:

But, is life but a Joke?

If not a joke, then what might it be?

Seriously…..

Some sort of hallucination?

Probably.

If not, then what is it?

Do these Foxy people know? (The eyes on these women, maybe contact lenses, make them look like.....Children of The Corn. They are a joke, for sure.)

Not much of a joke to be hounded on camera for the world to see, even over here in Thailand.

Always curious, just like you,

Whether or not...

Life is but a joke....

Gamma

Note: Hendrix was Foxey News before Fox News….eating his guitar, etc…..Such a powerful tongue…..

No Fox News in 1970.

Life was but less of a joke then.

How to live?

When life is but a joke?

Do you know?

Sorry, but forgot to ask the question:

Would life be far less of a joke if Human Nature were not so obviously what it seems to be?

I am only hanging around for the punchline

Festung Amerika is coming, the light on the hill has gone out.

No, I am not joking.

It´s all in the eyes of the beholder, Gamma!

There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody’s expense but his own.

Moby Dick, Herman Melville, 1851

Nah...earth's a cosmic Big Brother show.

There are good jokes and there are bad jokes and jokes that never should have seen the light of day

HOW, exactly, does one human being even come to write such greatness???

Sort of like...

Magic Johnson on steroids, or something.

Melville is NOT a joke.

Oh, wait.....!

“There she blows! —there she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is Moby Dick!”

"Is life but a joke?"

A rhetorical question, surely. A bad joke for sure.

Older people are perceived as cynics and misanthropes. But, they are simply people who have at last heard the shrill, sad music of humanity, played by a mediocre rock band howling for fame.

The future isn't just something that happens. It's a brutal force with a great sense of humor that will steamroll you, if you're not watching.

What are you most afraid of?

That because the last thing in the world I want to do is tweet or update my Facebook status, the soul of youth will vomit me into the cesspool of the old and the worthless.

"The hour is getting late...."

Scientists now seem to think it's possible we're all living in a simulation. Inside some cosmic computer.

That would explain the "glitch in the Matrix" some people seem to experience once in a while.

Serious scientists?

Seriously?

They only do not deny the possiblity.

I'm not an astro physicist. I don't know much about quantum mechanics. But I like to read up on that stuff when I get the chance. It's fascinating. In any event, the simulation explanation is as good as any, since no one really knows. That much I know for sure.

Anything is possible.

Such as, for example, reincarnation/transmigration.

This is the year of the snake.

The joke is in my hand.

If not, then what is it?If not, then what is it?

Greedy, selfish people who want power and money?

Trump freezes federal grant payments in surprise move

The pause "does not include assistance provided directly to individuals," the memo states.

Some people probably think this is <deleted> hilarious that they can get away with this.

KAA-CHING $$$$

At ninety-one I agree. The way the world is now, becoming more unbelievable it must be a joke. The punch line will not be funny.
