Great minds


My best friend in college saw herself running in slow motion across the quad. Her boy friend stood there watching her gracefully leaping and landing, her long blonde hair flowing behind her like a ray of sunshine as birds twittered quietly and their favorite song wafted through the air.

Bestest wanted to do something to loosen up his American Lit. class. The day after Halloween he envisioned the perfect plan, running into class and throwing a handful of candy up in the air so it could rain down upon them and break the ice.

I wanted to make my son's birthday party an innovative, moving experience. The theme was a circus and I saw streamers of all colors revolving in the air over the table. I carefully taped brightly colored crepe paper to our ceiling fan and flipped the switch!

My friend stubbed her toe and tripped gracelessly across the lawn landing on her face at her startled boy friend's feet.

Bestest injured several students as the candy knocked off glasses and hit people in the eye.

The fan sucked up the crepe paper in one almost instantaneous flash.

The best ideas in reality and movies are often united only by laughter.
