Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for June 03, 2018

A work in progress.

Will he have success with ’Love Potion Number 9"?

I wish the Wiz a lot of luck. I haven’t seen anything written in the last four thousand years that said what love is. A lot of poets and philosophers described love, but could not say what love is. Lust they could do though.

Love; love, affection (Old English lufu), Middle English loue. Sankrit: lobha (covertousness). I lost the name of the dictionary as this was found in the early 1990’s.

This is very close to the etymology of love in the online Mirriam- Webster dictionary, except no mention of the sanskrit

I held my nose, i closed my eyes, i took a drinkI didn’t know if it was day or nighti started kissin’ everything in sightbut when i kissed a cop down on thirty-fourth and vinehe broke my little bottle of love potion number nine

Actually the Wiz and Blanch appear to have a pretty good marriage overall.

Wiz – Ya gotta define your parameters before mixing the potions!

Are you going for:

Eros, Philia, Storge, Agape, Ludus, Pragma, or Philautia?

It’s a love potion, not a marriage potion. Both work very differently.

Nazareth was right. Love hurts.

As Rocky would say,“That trick never works.”

“Love means never having to say you’re sorry” led to many a divorce.

It turns out that you DO.

Well, KAOS had successfully invented a love ray or something.
