With More Than A Pinch Of Salt

Always take an ordinary person's word with a pinch of salt. When its someone extraordinary, just a pinch won't do. Empty the jar.

wanderings

Cain was lying on his back and staring at the walls. He said, "I am bored".
Bruno nodded, "I know you are. There is no reason not to be".
"This boredom is deadly, isn't it?"
"Well, I dont know about that, you can just sleep it off."
"Dont be ridiculous Bruno, you just woke up, It's only mid-afternoon. Our day starts now"
"So why dont we start our day with a nice, refreshing nap?"
"Go to bed you crazy jerkoff, I'm gonna do something else"

Cain said to himself, "Pacing around is so boring, life sucks."
Wilbur, said aloud, "Pacing around is so boring, life sucks."
"I want to do something. I dont want to watch my toenails grow all day"
"My dear friend, you should understand that man alone among all animals feels boredom. You should feel thankful. It spurs man from lethargy."
"Keep your half-assed philosophy to yourself Wilbur, I want to wallow in self-pity."
"Dude has anyone told you that you are pathetic?"

Cain decided to go for a walk. He met Francoise in the park.
"Boy, aren't you energetic today?"
"I can't seem to find anything to do, Francoise."
"Why don't you exercise with me?"
"No, I like my fat, flabby self."
"Man you are really pathetic."
"Deja vu?"

Tired of his meaningless existence, Cain went to the wharf on the lake with a knife in his hand. Bruno, Wilbur and Francoise were chatting near the lake. F saw Cain and screamed, "Oh no! Cain has a knife in his hand and is heading for the lake!! Someone stop him!!"
W and B started running towards the wharf. They caught up with Cain and pinned him to the ground.
"What the hell man? A bit of boredom can't drive you to such measures!"
"What on Earth were you thinking?"
F caught up with them. "Don't we mean anything to you?"
Bemused, Cain said "I can explain..."
"Shut up, I dont want to hear from you."
"You a******"
"But you see, its not what you think"
"...eh?"
Cain propped himself up and said, " My boat got stuck in the middle of the lake, I was gonna swim there and cut it free."
Wilbur said, "Geez, bummer"
Bruno said, "Let's go back to sleep"
