131. Notes - finding it reverently funny

131. 25 May 2019

       Late afternoon with a thunderstorm brewing. You had an enjoyable and fun day, too late to finish mowing and trimming though Carol dropped another new plant in the ground on the west side of the front of the house a few minutes ago. - Amorella

       1806 hours. We had a late lunch at BiBiBop and earlier a late breakfast of Schneider's doughnuts of two each on West College Avenue below our first apartment (summer 1967) at ten and a half West College. Otherwise, we drove around running errands and getting acclimated to the new car. We are both tired. Maybe it isn't going to rain that much after all and we can finish the yard tonight instead of tomorrow. 

       You read a funny joke online, at one of your former student's Facebook page. It tickled you a lot and you showed it to Carol, who likewise laughed. So, you dropped it onto your own Facebook page and it has a few 'likes' from a few friends that you assume have cats or have had cats in their personal lives. Drop it in here. Good joke. - mh

       2209 hours. It is a good joke, especially on the cat. There was a time, decades ago, that I would have been terrified, afraid I would be blaspheming G-D with such a joke even though my human senses find it funny. I have more humor these days, but I am not lack in my respect for G-D be She/He real. I even respect the concept of a "Creator of All Things and Beyond".

A German Shepherd, a Doberman, and a cat died.

In heaven, all three faced God, who wanted to know what they believed in.

The German Shepard said, "I believe in discipline, training, and loyalty to my master."

"Good!" said God. "Sit at my right side."

"Doberman, what do you believe in?" asked God.

The Doberman answered, "I believe in the love, care, and protection of my master."

"Aha," said God. "You may sit on my left."

Then God looked at the cat and asked, "And what do you believe in?"

The cat replied, "I believe you are sitting in my seat."

       I find it funny that you are expecting a comment from me, the Amorella.

       2237 hours. I was only expecting half a comment or none at all, Amorella. You would have to be human to see the fuller sense of humor in the joke. Then again, thinking on your comment, "I find it funny . . .," I see a deeper sense of humor within, the possible trace of irony in reference to my agnostic nature. Oddly, I still find it reverently funny. 

       Good. Post. - Amorella
