Altered Allegiance

 

I recently read a blogpost from a guy who said that it just added up that Mathematics was his favorite subject as a scholar.  Post-post-secondary education, he began to read more and more, and for personal pleasure, not just mathematical problems.  A train leaves Chicago at noon, heading west at 65 MPH….

He found that he really liked language usage, and that English had become his favorite subject.  Hey, any friend of English, is a friend of mine.  He said that he came to appreciate the puns, the alliteration, the similes, the metaphors, the rhymes, and the plot twists in Shakespeare’s plays.

SCUREETCH!!  WHUUUTT??

I think he oughta read his Shakespeare again.  Even though his plays were performed at the Royal Court, Wild Bill wrote for the groundlings – the very common commoners.  He was about as subtle as a brick through a plate glass window.  We never discovered at the denouément, that Ophelia was an LGBTQ water safety instructor, that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were essential-oil MLM scammers, or that Yorick didn’t actually die.  He entered the Witness Protection Plan, and is happily working, making lingonberry Danish pastries in a little bakery in Copenhagen, under the name, Lars Larsen.

I can never seem to get enough.
