It’s a Pair-a-Ducks!

It's a Pair-a-Ducks!

Calvin and Hobbs creator, Bill Watterson said, “Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask, ‘Where have I gone wrong?’ Then a voice says to me, ‘This is going to take more than one night.’”

I know the feeling, and that’s often the same night when odd questions begin to cross my mind as I dodge the answers to that first one:

If ignorance is bliss, I must be very blissful. But if I’m ignorant, how would I know that?

If everything they say is true, how come there are so many of them contradicting each other?

If common sense is so common, how come so many people fail to use it?

If someone is penny-wise and pound-foolish, what are they when they convert to metrics?

If curiosity killed the cat, should it have let sleeping dogs lie?

If something is a far cry, is something else a short laugh?

If a man is all thumbs, how does he know which rule of thumb to measure with?

And, if water always runs downhill, how’d it get up there in the first place?

You see my conundrum: how can I sleep when there are so many pressing questions to answer?
