Ladies and
Gentlemen,
The trouble
with morality is that it requires one to be sincere, to have character. So boring.
“We become
moral,” said Proust, “when we are unhappy.”
“Morality,” said Paul Valéry, “falls off under a bright dry light, as clothes do in a sunny land.”
These French!
On the other hand the Irishman Shaw said, “An Englishman thinks he's being moral when he's only uncomfortable.”
And the Irishman Oscar? “Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.”
As Eve said to Adam, “This is not going to be a cheap date.”
But then, what values shall we profess? My own, I kneel and confess it, are pleasure and amusement, bequeathed me by that worthy man Henry James, who also said, “I would give all I possess to get out of myself; but somehow, at the end, I find myself so vastly more interesting than nine tenths of the people I meet.”
One so often wishes one were a nicer guy.
Thine evermore, most dear Ladies and Gentlemen, whilst this machine is to him,
Rambo

Robert MacLean dropped his phone in the toilet. (Watch out for that!) His new number is +30 6982 805 144, his The Light Touch is on Amazon Prime, Tubi and Scanbox, and his 7-minute comedy is an out-loud laugh. He is also a novelist, a playwright, a blogger, a YouTuber, a film reviewer, a literary critic, and a stand-up comic poet. Born Toronto, taught at Canadian universities, too cold, live Greece, Irish citizen. No brains but an intellectual snob.
