So my neighbor to the north side of my house perceives the world as one big yelling mess (rap “music”), and my neighbor to the south side of my house perceives the world as still in the 1950s (oldie “classics”) and my across the street neighbor perceives the world as sad and inherently very stupid (country and western).
He goes to a big “everything under one roof” department store looking for a job.
He sits down, greets the manager and shakes his hand.
The manager says, “Do you have any sales experience?”
The kid replies, “Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Alabama”
They talk and get acquainted and the manager likes him so he gave him the job. “You start tomorrow. I’ll come by after we close and see how you did.”
His first day on the job was rough, but he pulled through it. After the store was locked, the manager came down just like he said.
“How many customers bought something from you today?”
The kid replies, “One.”
The boss glares at him and shouts, “Just one!? Our sales people average 20-30 customers per day!” .. “How much was the sale for!?”
The kid replies “$121,237.65”
The boss now shocked, “What in the hell did you sell!?”
The kids says, “Well first I sold him a small fishhook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then a new fishing rod. So I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he needs a good boat, we went down to that department, and he got a twin engine Boston Whaler. Then he said he didn’t think his Honda Civic would pull the boat so I took him to the automotive department and sold him a truck.
The boss furrowing his brow said, “A guy came here to buy a fishhook and you sold him a boat and a truck???”
The kid replied, “No, the guy came here to buy tampons for his wife and I said ‘dude your weekend sounds shot, you should go fishing’.

I’ll vouch for that. The music of Country Joe and the Fish gave me a very altered perception of the world.

It took research to see how music deeply affects how we perceive the world? Many of us have known that since childhood.

Wouldn’t having eyes that look like flowers get your head covered in bees, butterflies and eye-pokes from hummingbirds?

Since the strip has given me the option, I simply refuse to believe it. Which one, you may ask? All of ’em. Feeling a bit contentious today.
