Nein Quarterly Update

THE ABSURD TIMES

What better proof the we live in absurd times when Nein makes more sense than all public figures put together? 
When did the public figures get together?

I am mellow lately.  A couple weeks ago, a little old African-American lady, dressed in her Sunday best, said "I'd like to share with you the most important day that ever existed.  I looked at her and smiled.  She then handed me a smallish drawing of some guy who looked like Fabio but had the name "Jesus" written under it.

I simply thanked her for thinking about me, said "You really didn't have to," and closed the door.  She?  Aint I sweet?

The thinking man's aphorisms (you assed for him):
