to boldly go

with the freedom of a fool

Gene Roddenberry wasn’t known for his comedy.

And

The mission of the Starship Enterprise?

You know the deal

To boldly go where no one has gone before.

The best comedy goes there - where no one else will

Some boldly go there.

Others?

They go there boldly.

For some, this it’s a matter of being offensive.

But the best?

The surprise created is caused by connection.

You mean you connected this absurd thing with this other bit of ridiculousness? How could you? How did you? And most of all, thank you.

It’s easy to do.

Frequently all you need to do is put the words in the wrong order.

Whole oats?

Oat hole.

Granny Flat?

So much fun eh?

What surprising connections have you made today?

How have you enjoyed finding silliness with ease?

Go boldly you fool.
