I was surprised to see litter (see picture above) on my pristine nature trail. I was even more surprised at the ironic nature of the words.
The following joke-story, discovered in an article on the role of humor in Buddhism and Psychoanalysis, also took me by surprise:
"Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson wake up in the middle of the night and Holmes says,
"Watson, what do the stars make you think of?"
"Well Holmes, I suppose I think of infinity, of the mysterious beauty of the universe, and of how much there is to discover. What do they make you think of?"
"Well Watson, they make me think that someone has stolen our tent."*
What does it take to make you laugh? What surprises you? Do you like mysteries?

Thanks for exploring the mystery - Nicky Mendenhall
