I admit it, I have a rebellious side. I have rules without reasons or illogical rules.

I visited a place and had to fill out some damn forms and the woman there said it had to be black ink.

I politely asked why and was told because that's they way they wanted it. She had to leave for a few minutes, so in  the center of this pile of papers I had to fill out, I did several in blue ink.

I do stuff like that all the time. Tell me I cana't do it and not explain why something that seems very arbitrary must be done, well you're just asking for trouble.

I was at a training center and every day I was there (three times a week) they had a list of the topics available for that day. Really mundane and boring stuff. So everyday I started adding a fun one on the bottom of the list. They ran from skydiving, para sailing, bungee jumping, to jousting, nature walks, cooking classes, you name it I put it up there, always before the instructor came in. Just my little way of playing with the "Man".

Well after a while, it became known that I was the culprit. No biggy, it went on for a couple of months, then one day as people were leaving, I was told that I wasn't supposed to do it any more.  That it wasn't "proper". The thing was all the people there besides the staff, loved it. So guess what, I called their bluff, I continued to do so,and if they erased it, I'd wait till the staff was out of the room and put it back.

In the end, they gave up trying to stop it. I was happy, the other people were happy, though I don't know about the staff, but guess what? I didn't care.

I do the same thing here sometimes, on stupid innocuous questions I will give a humorous answer. Things like the other night on a question about what to do if an endangered animal was eating a endangered plant, what to do? I said wait till the animal had finished eating the plant, then shoot , cook and eat him. It's all part of the great circle of life.

Or what endangered animal would you save. I said Unicorn and was promptly told they didn't exist. So I commented, how do you know?

People ask questions like apples or oranges, pick one, I said both, same with blondes and redheads, I'll take both.

Some people fail to see the humor in so many situations.

The only thing I will not kid about is serious matters, as long as the person seems really serious in solving their problem, then I will tell you exactly what i feel. Questions like, I can't decide between BF and school, I'll be forthwith and honest.

Questions like how come it's always my plane that gerts delayed, well sorry it must be you, your cursed!
Learn to laugh at some of the small stuff, make light of things that don't really matter, but if a person is asking for help, then for God's sake, help them.

Someday it just might be you that is looking for a serious answer to a hard question.

Till then, have some fun in your life, spread it to others.

Till later, I have a dragon to go slay.

    I agree....Some people are too uptight all the time.
