What the Philosophers say about reality is often as deceptive as when you see a sign in a second-hand store that reads: Pressing Done Here. If you went in with your clothes to have them pressed you would be fooled; the sign is for sale.

A bank sends an internal fax that looks like a bomb threat.
One: Clipart is evil. I didn't realize how dangerous it could be until I read this story, but somehow I've always known that it's evil.
Two: Bank managers who can't be bothered to check the number of a threatening call/fax before calling the bomb squad should be publicly humiliated.
That is all.
A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The Clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.
