Medical aid

Posted on June 29, 2013 by ronnieapteker

A wealthy hospital benefactor was being shown around the hospital. During her tour, she passed a room where a male patient was masturbating furiously.

“Oh my God!” screamed the woman. “That’s disgraceful! Why is he doing that?”

The doctor who was leading the tour calmly explained, “I’m very sorry that you were exposed to that, but this man has a serious condition where his testicles rapidly fill with semen, and if he doesn’t do that at least five times a day, he’ll be in extreme pain and his testicles could easily rupture.”

“Oh, well in that case, I guess it’s okay,” said the woman …

As they passed by the next room, they saw a male patient laying in bed while a nurse performed oral sex on him.

Again, the woman screamed, “Oh my God! How can that be justified?”

Again the doctor spoke very calmly: “Same illness, better medical aid.”

COMPLETELY FINISHED

Posted on June 28, 2013 by ronnieapteker

No English dictionary has been able to explain the difference between the two words “complete” and “finished” in a way that’s so easy to understand:

Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED but there is:

When you marry the right one, you are COMPLETE …

And when you marry the wrong one, you are FINISHED …

And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are … COMPLETELY FINISHED !!!

I would send you a shorter email, but I don’t have time

Posted on June 28, 2013 by ronnieapteker

We all overcomplicate our lives. I am starting to understand what constitutes a genius more and more. I think the smartest people know how to keep things simple. A genius is often described as someone who lives in their own world. Perhaps we can interpret this to mean that this is someone who just does not buy into all the distractions found in the mediocre mainstream. And yes, this is a whole other discussion, so let me keep things simple here. After all, this text here is about simplicity.

I actually heard someone say the other day “I would send you a shorter email but I just don’t have time.” And this got me thinking. It takes time to simplify things. It takes time to get to the point. It seems to be easier to waffle on and on.

I get many film scripts sent to me, but when I ask for a one paragraph description or a one page summary I get this silence on the other end of the phone. An interesting paradox indeed.

We were always taught in school about keeping it simple. There was that expression “KISS” which stands for “Keep It Simple, Stupid”. We all tend to fill our lives with so many time-wasting distractions. Perhaps this is what gives us comfort. God forbid we have to deal with real issues.

So, without confusing anyone any further, or myself for that matter, let me keep today’s rambling short and simple. It is simplicity we ultimately all need to strive for. It is something I am trying to achieve in my own life. I hope I get it right. I need to.
