Logicking Boats and Worlds

We will start with these two sayings:

1. "Don't rock the boat"
2. "That rocked my world!"

Now, expression 1 is a negative expostulation, stating displeasure at the rocking of the boat. We might tentatively state that rocking is unpleasant. However, we know that expression 2 is a positive exclamation, stating pleasure at the rocking of the world.

Therefore, we can conclude that rocking is not always unpleasant. Rocking a boat evokes displeasure, but rocking a world evokes pleasure.

If that is the state of things with boats and worlds, then it must further be clear that stability is a very desirable quality for a boat, but not for a world. Boats should rest firmly in one place and not shift about. Worlds, on the otherhand, should be constructed in such a way that they rock about easily, for the pleasure of their denizens.

So in an ideal world, when you want excitement and thrill, you should stay on the land of your world, but if you begin to get motion sickness, you should spend some time in a boat.

Cyclope

This t-shirt is funny. I don't think I need a funny t-shirt right now, but if I did, I might buy this one.

:-)

Socken

German has some funny words. I need some new Socken, and I am finding the word quite amusing. I went and looked it up, and found that a related word is Strumpf. Even better!

Unfortunately, happiness is the exception today, not the rule.
