INTERVIEW WITH THE JESTER

[Bill]

Pandas also do one thing exceedingly well.
Monkeys can do a couple of things but none of them well.

To follow your definition,  Prophets tell Foibles?
or are they parables?  

Notredamus, he was the bell ringer that wrote a book or was that someone else?

[Buffalo2102]

No, someone else.  Although I think the bell ringer was in his house. Or church or something.  Or a University in Michiana.

I could make a very risque remark concerning men and parables - but I won't.  Even though it is my designated duty.

A foible is a story with a moral...what?

[Ace]

What?

No, Notredamus isn't the guy whose face rings a bell.  The Ble quotient is yet to be determined, whether or not there are two or more.

I think that's what we could do, what Buff suggested: merely outline the joke, as far as situation or characters or lack of morals, and then we can imagine it.  It wouldn't be a blatant disregard for public decency or social mores or S'mores or endangerment to small tykes whom might wander in, although you gotta wonder why they would.  I mean, just planting a Jester's image up on the board would be enough to scare off anyone with any common sense right there.  Let alone children, who sure aren't gonna go in a door that says "Scary Clown. Here."

Ok; I'll now envision the joke BLo mapped out.  Men and parables.  Okay.  I got it...

Ok, I don't got it.  Not getting anything.  Maybe it's because it's early, and I'm still on coffee.

I'll try again later.  Actually, I think they're only foibles if you're in Joisey.  Probably in Michiana it'd be a "farble."

Like when you worsh your clothes.  In the crick.

Ace; soon, I shall go to a University in Michiana.  TGIF.  

[Buffalo2102]

I'm not going to explain it.  Just say parables slowly.....

[Bill]

The Ble quotient ?  Is that a new Hawkins' construct?  BTW, now that Hawkins has flip-floped on the Black Hole stuff, he should run for President.

Boy, the further you get into this Foible stuff, the more obscure you become. So what is the moral here?

par a bles...para b les...p ara b les?
Nope
"Stories" is easier and just as funny.
Sorry Buf...

[Buffalo2102]

No probs.  I won't explain as it's kinda lost it's sponteneity now.

Sponteneity - good word.

[Bill]

Yes, you're right - so is spontaneity-somthing the Jester is full of.

[Ace]

It's. Its.

Oh, hey; thanks.  Appreciate the compliment.  I'm glad I'm seen as having spontaneity.  However you spell things.  Usually I'm scripted, but today I'm just phoning it in.

parable = 2 bles for those keeping score.

Ace; I'm spontaneous, like combustion.

[Bill]

Oh. OK, sometimes nothing get through.

But I don't like to run with them!

And things can be spelled anyway you like.
