On a Bierce and a poem/joke
“X in our alphabet being a needless letter has added invincibility to the attacks of the spelling reformers, and like them, will doubtless last as long as the language. ” –Ambrose Bierce
The entry in The Devil’s Dictionary goes on a few sentences longer. A few thoughts on the letter “x.” It is used to represent pornography in the U.S, , and porn is a huge underground industry. The letter also is unappealing in a way because it you can make you think of an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend, which is often wrong. “Focus forward,” as the saying goes. And try not to be x-communicated from the Church.
“Don’t” by yours truly
Heard at a rally by We-don’t-care Anonymous:
“We don’t care!
We don’t care!
Please don’t stare.
Please donut stare.
(Even if you are in the police and love donuts.}
Buyer beware!
Buyer beware!
Brush your hair!
Brush your hair!”
