The duller the better

Fritz Hamilton

“Hey, Russo, I reach into my pocketbook, & it’s empty.”
“Of course, Fred, all your money has gone to the filthy rich.”
“But they don’t need it.”
“What difference does that make?”
“But what about me?”
“Starve! Or join The Islamic State.”
“But all they do is cut off heads.”
“Maybe you can cut the head off someone that’s filthy rich.”
“Hey, now you’re talkin’.”
“Of course, you could object like Socrates & kill yrself.”
“But no one would care.”
“Of course not. That’s because you’re not filthy rich.”
“No, but I’m filthy.”
“That’s because you can’t afford soap.”
“No, but I can still cut off some heads.”
“Then it’s time to join ISIS.”
“But I only have a butter knife.”
“So use it. It hurts more. The duller the better.”
