Turns aphorisms on their heads

It is not very polite to interrupt a person, of

course. But sometimes

if the person is very unpleasant

you can hardly stop yourself.

Most schools have a system of loud bells

which startle the students and teachers

at regular intervals and remind them

that time is passing even more slowly than it seems.

The expression “Those who can’t do, teach,”

is a curious one, because if you look at the world,

you’ll see that teachers aren’t particularly worse than anyone

else, so perhaps the expression might be better worded as, “Nobody can do anything.”

CONSOLATION

This morning the newspaperwas too terrible to deliverso the newsboy just pitched outa little sheafof Kleenex.

BEFORE I READ THE KITE RUNNER

I held it on my lap on the plane in Cairo while other passengers were boarding. It seemed like a good book to read, finally, on such a long flight. I’d had it since it came out, but now the time felt right. Two men from Yemen across the aisle, who had been snoozing when the Egypt passengers first boarded, pointed and said, “Good book! Good book!” Some women from Germany patted my head and said, “We loved that book.” An American man with his wife leaned over and said, “It opened our eyes.” What a surprise! Everyone on the plane seemed to have read it before me. And they were all my friends simply because I was holding it!

Maybe we should just wander around other countries carrying books.
