Comedy is the difference between intention and action, right?

This is a follow-on from yesterday.

I frequently find humor in my own bumbling on this score. Watching how my best intentions sometimes, somehow, end up as slapstick comedy can be hilarious. Also, necessitate the need for releasing the tension this sort of thing causes.

Another thing that makes me shake my head and go "Hmmm!": People interpreting my intentions when I speak or act.

These have nothing at all to do with me, and everything to do with the other person checking what their motivation would be to say or do what I said or did. When the misunderstandings aren't tragic, they're hilarious.

Because people always ascribe their world view to everything they perceive. This fallacy has a name (according to Wikipedia, anyway: Psychologist's fallacy: An observer presupposes the objectivity of his own perspective when analyzing a behavioral event.

Funny stuff! .

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Diet Comment

No loss, no gain, but just holding steady puts me below a rising trend line. I should work harder at turning that trend line down, I guess. That means losing about six pounds. Seems do-able, but not until after the Fourth.
