Since I first wrote the column, I have heard from several people who have said I needed to share more of the things that I do to make people laugh out loud. I figured what the heck I will share some and hope I make people laugh again. I hope, is the key words here.
There was an event way back in the mid 1500’s that changed the way people feel about laughing. People who lived back then lost all ability to laugh because of the long history of being told what funny really is. The court jesters were about as boring as reading the New York Times on a good day. Happiness only came from a good chicken and a lousy pickled turnip.
Then one foggy December 3rd eve, a revival on happiness came about. Sir Emo Rubik invented a cube that revolutionalized happiness. People of all ages learned that there was more to life than turnips, carrots and farming. They were taught that this magic cube that “puzzled” the masses was indeed the way to happiness.
With this magic cube, that twisted and turned where each of the six faces is covered by 9 stickers, among six solid colors (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow). A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colors. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be a solid color.
Well the masses at first could not understand how to solve Emo’s little colorful cube and decided that there was only one person who could possibly solve this great unknown . Two villagers from the mountains of London’s east side named Dave and Tim gathered all the villagers whose puzzlement over the new cubes were building with each minute from Big Ben.
With an almost unanimous vote, it was decided that the cube would need to be brought to the most famous puzzle solver of the day, Dr Cris Chasse. What he was a doctor of has never been truly known, however most people say, as legend has it, that he was not just the doctor of love in the early days, but also a doctor of all the sciences then known to man.
When Dave and Tim reached the famous Chasse, he was working on making a candle that really was not a candle at all. It was a strange type of bulb that actually light up a room far better than any candle they had ever seen (more on that in another column). Dave handed the good doctor the cube and explained the rules as best he could. Within sixty some odd seconds, Chasse put all the colors in order and thus completed the puzzle. The glee that Dave and Tim had was undeniable. Tim and Dave thanked the extremely talented Dr. after learning the secret to solving the puzzle and raced back to the village.
In front of all the village, Dave and Tim solved the puzzle in front of all of the village. Laughter, smiles and dancing erupted spontaneously. Most of the villagers could not solve the puzzle but it really did not matter at all. What mattered most was that laughter and smiles had returned in abundance. The biggest baby boom of the century happened that next year as people were uncontrollably happy again. Men, woman, and children, once again learned how to be themselves and unleashed that little green happy person inside. That happy person resides in all of us and it doesn’t take Emo’s famous cube to unleash it.
