Rubes by Leigh Rubin for August 02, 2022

Har, Har, we be having some of that temporary joy

He no longer has happiness within.

so comrade ….. how’s happiness deep within down there?

I’ll take temporary joy for $10,000 Alex.

Hmm I’m getting that feeling of deja vu here…..

with that statement, it looks like he dug himself a hole

No, no! He didn’t say happiness came from within a hole.

Pirate.

Reminds me of the story of the Tibetan Buddhist monk who goes up to the hot dog vendor, hands him a $20 bill and says “Make me one with everything”. Hot dog vendor makes him his dog, and the monk asks for his change. Hot dog vendor (who is also a Buddhist monk) says “change must come from within”.

Why bury treasure. Spend it so fast nobody could steal it.

So much for trying his hand at rap music.

I was thinking bury him IN the chest…

Happiness comes from feeling whole…not from being in a hole.

Pirates hate philosophers.

Happiness comes from within the Treasure Chest.

They made the correct decision.

Again, Rubin? with the ‘happiness within’ line?

They are attaining happiness. They filled in the hole they dug, and left something in place of what they took.

Plus they just increased their share of the treasure.
