Co-Dependents
Marcie-Jen flat out lied!
Frequently challenged, she complained that people
painted her into a corner, thus forcing more lies.
“That much is true,” maintains our Elder One.
"You shouldn't show how clever you are by
trapping her."
“Yeah, first you should work on your own behavior
first!” That from Derrick, who never did. And fancied her.
He was warned away by the wise Elder. "Just don't depend
on her! Push will really really come to shove, and she'll
let you down by telling the truth."
“Then the truth will be a lie!” added Tess, who thought
that funny.
“We’re getting to something here!”
“Yeah, Philosophy!” Derrick spat. “No wonder I flunked it.
Religion too! Same teacher. A small college.”
Too many of those! And we went off on Education, leaving
Marcie-Jen to lie as a lifestyle.

Fool Proof?
Befuddlements
-Charlene is quite ditzy!
-Never met the like.
-Whereas George is steady-state.
-As befits a professor of electrical engineering!
-Yet she's the star of that odd pairing.
-How so? 'cause being at sixes and sevens perpetually, makes
for celestial brightness! Not!
-She's a Professional Idiot. Travels the world!
-What for? Doing the things we all do, but with scattering?
-Let's put it this way. If German engineers have tested a consumer
product through and through and...
-declared it absolutely, Teutonically finished! Ninety-nine point
nine perfecto!
-They send for her. They can declare it foolproof, idiot proof, or
whatever, she finds a way or ways to utterly confound them,
gumming up everything! Many end up babbling: “It's as close to
perfect as we could make it. No one could guess that someone
would employ it in these totally crazy ways!”
-Which she does naturally?
-Without a thought.
-What a valuable nut! I hope the professor appreciates...
-He really does when she's gone. Quite the single malt fancier!
-Like her, he tests them out!
-Employing his brain, though. At least at the start.
-Evidently not always the best thing at most points in a process.

Go Figure
Solutions
-When did that pat little model come down?
Problem-solving? Marshaling your little
evidences and, Voila, an answer asserting!
-Aristotle, through Sherlock Holmes.
-Whatever. It's sheer bullshit! You get nowhere
with some messes. Some are better ignored.
Some of the few allegedly solved come back
to bite your ass repeatedly.
-Are you coming out against Western Rational Man?
-He’s an utter asshole!
-Should you have no method then?
-Probably.
-Then, what should you do if...?
-Flip a coin. That doesn't piss the gods off.
They get a kick outa it.
-And us?
-Especially us.
