Twisted teller of mind bending tales. I never met a myth I didn't love or a subject that I couldn't twist out of joint. I have a little something for almost everyone here. Cept AI. Aint got none of that.
Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

I was totally not expecting this, and the fact that I wasn't; made this a masterpiece that deserves a gold medal 👏. Well done to your wife for totally surprising us, I especially loved the ending where it stated to get intense 😂
couldn't stop laughing, very hilarious
This is hilarious! I have definitely done this many times though.
🤣🤣🤣 this is hilarious, John! Thanks to you and your wife for sharing!
lol
Fairly accurate!
Very cute. I rarely shout in the shower, but I sure hollered last night 😳… someone stole the hot water and it wasn’t in a hurry to return 🥺. My son usually yells “No thank you!”🤣
Very relatable!! She is a master poet, communicating so much with just four repeated words...
Ha ha! Yes!
Mmmm...are you sure this poem was just about a shower? I have a different read on it, but of course, that's between husband and wife.
No such thing as the perfect setting!
Bahaha. I felt that.
Lol this is too relatable 🤣
John. Lol. This is kinda relatable. When I'm in a "new to me" shower. What I love is with you, John; you always keep us on our toes. One minute, you are giving us some hard-boiled story about a degenerate or morally corrupt individual, doing a Bard-worthy play scene, the most beautifully written tribute or something just downright funny and mischievous. Also, I love the sense of morals and respect for your wife that you got permission to do! So yeah, this made me grin a lot, and I love the pairing of it with that damn image, haha. Well done, sir!
Oh, lovely. You have just made my morning!
Ha! Is it like this all the time for her? It's like torture!
Hahahahahahahahahaha omgggg this was hilarious and so relatable! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Laughing hysterically over this one. Reminded me of a trick I tried pulling on my ex. I snuck in while he was showering and waited until his back was turned so I could turn off the hot water...except I turned the wrong faucet off. (I don't feel so bad about that now, but then I did)
Freak'n hilarious. Geez I laughed so hard. This is one of those rare ones that is sillyness to the ninth degree and I love it.
The lead photo had me laughing to start.....nothing like a prime Hitchcock entry point. But then the poem, oh my goodness....too funny! Thanks for the laugh!
