A Greek tragedy is one that is inevitable, unavoidable. A Shakespearean tragedy is one that may not have happened if not for human decisions or failures.
The Potato Chip Tragedy
Duck, Duck, Magpie
A duck walks into a movie theater, waddles straight down to the first row and flutters up into his seat. The guy next to him looks over, then double-takes. “Say, aren’t you a duck?” The duck replies, “Indeed, a mallard.” “That’s odd,” says the gentleman, “Why would you fly in to see this movie?” “Well,” said the duck, “I really liked the book.”
At The “Connah” Of History
If you go to Boston you’ll undoubtedly see a store on the corner – the Connah Stah. Sully and Fitz will buy smokes there and two-dollar scratchers. There will be a bar next door but they’ll call it a tavern because that’s what they called it when it was built not long after the Pilgrims arrived. There will be a couple of TVs most likely tuned to the hockey game and if you want to change the channel you’ll need to ask the bah tenda (good luck with that). Within a block or two, there will be twelve places to buy cannolis and donuts made by Dunkin, but what you’ll find in equal abundance are Patriots because Boston is really located on the connah of history.
