I have recently discovered that I am an incurable fan of the obvious. "What?" one may ask, attempting to delve deep into the statement to uncover the metaphysical significance hidden there. Well, stop. Just reading the sentence. What does it say? I says that I have recently discovered that I am an incurable fan of the obvious. Yep.
That is not to say that I not find the subtle subtext, the cloaked innuendo, the hidden nuggets of truth equally pleasing or even more appealing at times. However, every once in a while, a tree is a tree, laughter is just laughter, and a hue carries no more meaning than allowing a shirt to coordinate with a pair pants. I do not wear khaki pants because my world is dull and unappealing or my outlook on life does not lack joy or passion. Khaki pants just go with everything.
Today, I burst out laughing at a sign on the internet that should not have had such a significant effect on me, but it did. The sign? A simple brown and white background, overlaid with these simple words: "You know it is cold outside when you go outside and it is cold." That is funny. Simple. Blunt. True.
Obvious.
Some days, that is what I need.
Wow, just wow. No that was not sarcasm... Maybe. What a deep yet to the point post, Mr. Kohls. And if you must know, I myself did ask, "what?" after reading the first sentence, but it was fun to read anyway.
