"It's All in Your Perspective"

I remember the old challenge of cutting up a potato such that it would fit through each of a round hole, a square hole and a triangular hole and completely fill the hole as it passed through. If you don't believe me give it a try....it works. The point of this demonstration is one of perspective. Not just does the potato fit through the respective holes, if you look at the potato in 2 dimensions from each of 3 different sides it will actually give you the impression of being square, triangular or round. If you never walked around the potato and looked at it from a different perspective you would believe what you see from where you sit.

Life's like that. For example, when dear Father Fuckhead had his heart attack in the confessional booth I remember as if it were yesterday the words my own dear departed father offered up when he told me. He said, and I quote, "They say that the good ones always go first!"

It's all in your perspective.

Now pass me some asswipe or get the hell out of my shithouse!!
