WHY I'M GLAD I'M NOT A PHILOSOPHER


Well first, there's my dick.
I don't ever, ever, ever want to wonder whether it's real or not.
Then there are peanuts and almonds and pistaschios and sunflower kernels --
I won't brook any argument that suggests they're any less important than God.
Then there's all that reading without any laughing,
Then there's the fact that nobody knows what the hell you're talking about 
anyway --
Except maybe a bunch of other philosophers who think you're a goddamn idiot
For not recognizing them 
As the one who's got the goods,
Who's ready to blow
Humanity's mind
If only we'd all take the time
To really, really, really, really read them.
