Absurdity Sells and Other Insane Thoughts

Why is the World So Serious?

My friend

has been writing a series of satires using people’s suggested “absurd” titles as inspiration. He states he has written 30 satires in one week. Well, in fact, yesterday he wrote 14 such stories … I kid you not, 14 in just one day. You can argue quality over quantity all you like, but there is a very grey area here … how do you define quality?

If a piece of writing makes me smile, and downright belly laugh, brightening my otherwise dull or depressing day … well to me, that is quality. If someone can write fourteen such pieces in one day, well that is a bonus.

Believe me, these are funny and made me feel so much better after reading them. So, I recommend you check out the couple I share here and also Francisco’s profile for even more. I also declare, I am not being paid or compensated for this in any way. It is purely out of the kindness of my heart 😁
