I am reminded of the joke about the mule trained with Loving Kindness.

 

For the 2.71828 of you who are unfamiliar with this joke, here it is:

 

A man paid a premium price for a riding mule that was said to be especially reliable, because he'd been trained with loving kindness.

After drinking a parting beer with the seller, the man saddled up the mule and mounted: "Gee up, Mule!"

The mule stood there

"Gee up, Mule!"

The mule stood there.

 

Finally the new owner went back in the tavern and confronted the seller. 

"I've got this" the seller said.  "Mount up"

The seller then smacked the mule between the ears with a 2x4

 

"I thought he was trained with loving kindness!" the buyer objected

 

"Oh, he was" the seller explained.  "But FIRST, you have to get his attention!"

F%#! You!!!!

You're just lucky they're busy investigating Giuliani, or I would report you.  As it is, I think I will go leave a bunch of bad reviews for you on Yelp.

"Be kind.

For everyone you meet

is fighting a hard battle."

~Socrates (Some attribute it to Plato)

 

 

Actually, Philo of Alexandria is the other person attributed credit.  It is believed by many to really be John Watson (1850-1907), under the pen name of Ian Maclaren.

I purposely waited until World Kindness Day was over to offer this. 🤨😁
