Our cast of characters
The most common question people ask me at clerkmanifesto is "What's the most common question that people ask you at clerkmanifesto?"
But the second most common question people ask me at clerkmanifesto is "How's your blog?"
"Oh. That's odd." You reply. "I would have thought the second most common question people asked you at clerkmanifesto was "What's the second most common question people ask you at clerkmanifesto?".
No, that wouldn't have been so funny since we already sort of did that joke with the first question and people were maybe expecting it again, but not really looking forward to it.
"Oh. So did I ruin it by asking. Was I...
not funny?"
No. You were just great, see, because everyone was relieved that the joke was all over, and then you came up and reminded everyone of what everyone was thinking and wasn't going to say, and so it was funny and nice and everyone liked you a lot.
"They liked me?"
I mean, who wouldn't?
"Really?"
Yes.
"So, how's your blog?"
It's exactly the same as how you are at every moment.

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
