Yes Ginger, thanks. All I'm really saying is that sometimes I figure we are beginning to forget how to form and articulate our own views, our own humour, as we increasingly use these "pre-fab" sayings: the way we pick items off a menu...sentiments off a Hallmark Card, humour off a bumper sticker.

All of this is not to say there isn't some wonderful, insightful humour to be had in a great cartoon (The New Yorker is renowned for those) but sometimes I think that our own takes can be just as dead-on-funny or profound and I suppose that I admire those original thoughts and efforts more. Not everyone can write well or wants to, but I do love seeing an original well turned short phrase and I wish more of us made that effort before we lose the skill altogether.
