A Mayonnaise Jar and Two Beers |
|
from Chuck Weber (LTjg 76-77) |
Comments... there are always comments: |
But if you put the beer in first, the other
stuff will float, and that makes it all so much easier to handle! That doesn't sound like a philosophy professor to me. At all. Yeah, more like materials science. For you see students, life is like concrete. The golf balls are the rocks, the pebbles the sand, the sand the portland cement, and the beer the water. This version has coffee in it, not beer. It appears this crap's been rewritten by a partier. That doesn't sound like a philosophy professor to me. At all. Can you re-write it from the point of view of a typical philosophy prof? Even though I've clicked on this before, everytime I see the thread title I expect it to be something much more interesting. I'm not sure what exactly, I just think a mayonnaise jar and a couple of beers have a lot more potential. Can you re-write it from the point of view of a typical philosophy prof? Well first you would have to ponder whether the mayonnaise jar actually exists... OK...confession time... I actually kinda like this illustration and I have used it in the past with teens (minus the beer). I dunno, even though it's glurgy, I have to agree with the principle of the message. What this story teaches me is that I should never have a beer with a philosophy professor, or at least check his pockets for jars first. Damn beer waster... and he wanted to endear himself to students?? I realize this is a ridiculous thing to be thinking about, but what would he do with the jars afterwards? Throw them out? Clean them and the balls? That would suck. All that beer-dampened sand. Be an awful mess. Perhaps I over-think things.

Be an awful mess. Perhaps I over-think things. Nah, UNDERthinking it, of course. He'd tie one of the jars to a railroad track. And then tie the other jar to an adjacent track. A train is coming toward the first jar. There is a junction via which the train could switch tracks, heading toward the second one instead. The first jar has a husband and six kids. The second jar is single, but is the founder of the world's largest philanthropic organization in history. Was he using the same sort of beer in each jar? And what kind of mayonnaise? I can imagine some brands working pretty well with a hint of beer. Aley mayo would go well with winter salads. Was he using the same sort of beer in each jar? impossible, the one is a husband with 6 kids, the other is single... obviously the husband with 6 kids has to have the cheapest beer... the single man would more likely have the good beer in it... that is unless the single jar liked horrible beer... ... anyway - the whole thing is a terrible waste of beer, IMO. Aww, I misread. I thought this was going to be about two bees in a jar. |
