I don’t have a funny message for you today – but I do still want to share something with you that made me laugh. Not only is it funny, but it will certainly give us all something to think about and discuss.
About a month ago, I was chatting with #31, as I often do – and we were discussing the phenomenon of people hooking up with their ex. I have long wondered about why people do such things. Are we wired to do this? Are we stuck on them? Seriously – what gives?
Anyway.. As we were discussing how such an idea is not a smart one – #31 used an analogy that I feel the need to share with the world. Apparently, most of us play our love deck wrong. When I questioned this, #31 said:
“Instead of trying to draw the King of Hearts, you lay the Joker.”
The sad part is, I looked at the screen puzzled until he then said “Double meaning intended.” (What can I say? I was thinking playing cards… it went right over my head.. I can be naive sometimes.)
So – my thought for today is this: Next time you feel the need to call up the ex.. ask yourself if it’s really worth not attempting to draw the “King (or Queen) of Hearts”, which would win you the game. Is “Laying the Joker” (metaphorically or literally) really worth it?
I know we’ve all been at least tempted to do it.. but why?
