"You're weird Robin..."
Thank you parasite. So are you, though you also smell funny.
"That's because I scored with a dolphin and..."
Ha! No. You don't smell fishy, you smell like Radar after he gets sprayed by a skunk.
"But. But. But. But I wipe my own ass!"
What? Oh, yeah, you heard that from a friend of mine who likes to use that phrase. Even has me saying it now.
"No. No I don't. I, I, I..."
Ha! Amazing. The parasite is at a loss for words AND it stinks.
It's true though, a man I work with was joking one day and said, "But, but, but, I wipe my own ass!" And every time he says it, I laugh. Amazing on what makes us laugh. Though sometimes it is not the words spoken but the context/style they are spoken in.
This is what I think is hard for a writer to portray to the reader. If one read, "But, but, but... I wipe my own ass!" without knowing the context of it being said, on the surface it appears crude and vulgar and definitely paints a mental picture. So, how does one show a reader what they want the reader to think?
Probably one of the answers is that everyone is different and some will laugh at something while others are offended. To read is one thing where one has to form a mental picture whereas when talking with a person there are other factors available to reach a decision on what to do... Cry. Laugh. Get mad. Sleep.
All fun, and of course, inspirational.

Mental Statue
Struck from such a state of mind
Pictured ambitions, traditions, questions, answers, weakness, strength
Showered fragments
scattered as in random patterns of a puzzle
Winter coldness and still the picture remains crystal clear
Summer heat shows the bird shit where the familiar fly
Fall brings closure
Spring brings relief
Such a state of mind
Carved until an entire world now remains.
