» Dan_Ellsworth - That's strooonng coffee!
Hello, Virginia. Since you seem to have entered into something like "philosophical humour" (that was the way I spelled it for a Google search.), I thought I would look up a site in that (one hopes) charming art. However, when I found THIS, it seemed that, for link after link, I didn't get it and/or didn't think it was very funny. So apparently I was giving you less than your due by such characterization.Well, then; your cup-and-coffee dialogue was what philosophical humor SHOULD be. Maybe I shouldn't have put the "U" in humour in my search.
That was fun to read; however, I think I have met the spirit of Cup in several people, and it's less fun to deal with than to read about.

In response to message posted by Dan_Ellsworth:Well, I agree with your evaluation of the "THIS" link above, Dan. I clicked through the list and it left me up Darwin's perverbial tree with no place to go except out on a limb. So while sitting there, a little inner voice said to me, "...for how long, Virginia"? I immediately left. Actually, the only one I even smiled at was Oliver North's comment about the chicken in the first group. Of course, I like Ollie, so regardless of his often flacid humor, I would have smiled at him.
Anyway, I sat here looking at the dry, esoteric philosophy books on my book shelf, and said, "Hehe! Leave it to Dan to think of searching out philosophical humor or humour. Does it actually exist?" I will leave that to you, Dan. You can charm a snake, so make me laugh--philosophically, speaking, of course. (Dubh)

In response to message posted by jerrib:Jerri, I am so glad to see you. I can't tell you how much I have missed you at Suite. I am looking forward to my 71st. birthday this year and wondering how much longer I should use Retin-A
Cream at $100+ a tube! LOL! Aren't you so lucky that you do not have to make such philosophically dull decisions? Hope you are having a great summer in the Pacific Northwest. Best to you and Carolina hugs. (Dubh)

» feistyfemale56 - A subject that never loses its relevance
What a delightful article to read! If philosophy classes/books had some lighthearted approaches such as this now and then, I bet more people would be interested in the subject altogether.I can see nine and ten year olds having heated conversations about the points of view as expressed by the cup and the coffee. I will have to test that idea with my ten-year old grandson.
