An Original Idea

Is there one that you can put your finger on? You know, an original idea. Let’s see, we could all decide on world peace; wouldn’t that be original if it took place? Then again, the Hippies tried that and we got LSD, pot, heroin etc. It seems like it didn’t work out all that well. How about a lake that is four hundred feet deep but the bottom of the lake floats ten feet off the ground? I give up. I have so many great ideas and they all seem rather iffy.

The Earth was an original idea by God and He made it happen. Maybe we don’t have what it takes? I mean, not to create a planet that supports the plethora of life the earth supports but just an idea that has not been thought of before. For that matter, is there an idea that hasn’t been thought of before? Seems there have been enough humans to figure it out. When we come right down to it, there are no original ideas amongst mankind that I can think of. You can say that nuclear weapons are original to Oppenheimer but it is just another form of a bomb or missile. Different explosive material that can ruin your day but original, nah.

How about ice cream that doesn’t melt? Seems to me that would kind of ruin the tongue, wouldn’t it? It would have to be changed from ice cream to ice crud so it wouldn’t sell. Then again, who knows what other people’s tastes are. A rockcicle? Nah, wouldn’t work unless you were out of your noggin. Crazy people will try about anything at least once.

Whose idea was it to put a Liberty statue where it is? Seems like a guy on the West Coast would have to hop a plane to the East Coast just to see the statue. Why not put it in Ohio so we wouldn’t have to drive as far from either coast? Sponges, Sea Urchins. Ideas of God again. Those ideas seem to work quite well. Fish, Zebras, Chipmunks, Eagles . . . that turned out quite nicely didn’t it? War was not a good idea but it was an idea nonetheless. The more I consider it, men may not be capable of good ideas. Women are included in the “men” statement. I am old and don’t care for progressive niceties so I calls ’em as I sees ’em.

Baseball is an idea that did not come from God but He gave us the minds to figure the game out. Funny how it all works. Men get big ideas, as do women, and usually end up screwing us all with nonsensical and stupid results.Let’s just leave it all to God to come up with ideas. All of His worked out wonderfully. Except He gave us free will. How is that working out? He has a change coming for us though. If it doesn’t work He destroys it and that is something that might be the best idea of all. Maybe?
