So often we have an ideal image of what we want in our heads (maybe even a Platonic ideal form)- an ideal job, an ideal spouse, an ideal president even. Does it help to have an ideal image to work towards? Or does it only frustrate if (and usually when) we fall short- since ideals can not exist in reality?

A good quote fuels the soul
Talk about falling short…how would you like to run a marathon, only to drop from total exhaustion a few feet from the finish line? I’d rather see presidential candidates compete in some activity that would truly test their mettle, such as the marathon, instead of listening to the hackneyed rhetoric which spills over the debate podiums.

I only have a few penguins left. I think most of them flew away. I only wish the crows would. My ideal world would be one where crows would become delicacies like truffles and would be overcome by a plague of muteness.

Life is sort of like a game of poker…sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But what if you had control and could deal your self whatever card you choose? That would be ideal I say…or should I say, “I deal”? Just pass the cards and close your eyes and all odds I will defy.

Plato knew less about Pluto than either you or I, but he knew much more of other things that flow beneath the sky.

The ideal ushers for your next upscale event would be a team of emperor penguins. They are short enough so that they will never be looking down on any of your guests, and they will not be scuffing your floors with their wingtips. This has been a public service announcement.

Approaching the ideal is a concept similar to that of it’s inverse, approaching infinity. While the ideal may be a target so small that it’s very existence may be called into question, one will certainly improve their performance by aiming for it.

An ideal president…now there’s a thought. How ’bout one that could not be bought, who’d gift his wealth to the USA and burden not those who could not pay, who’d donate finances from her campaign and royalties that fall like rain. A saint is what I’m looking for. Show me one, and I’ll dream no more.

Addressing a conundrum regarding the third person singular pronoun: I propose the word “hesh” be used henceforth when the gender is not specific. If a proposal has already been rendered to eliminate the need for the awkward “he or she” phrase, so be it. I will not hinder progress, but please keep me informed so that I will not appear the country bumpkin.

I deal in used penguins…as well as crows, of course. The penguins are more costly, but they are emperors after all. The crows are rather common, and I must point out that they come without lips. Address all inquiries to the Bedlam Sanitarium and thank you for listening.
