twisty, twisty, take 2:
SAMUEL BOEHM writes . . .
“I found the popsicle sticks outside my building.
They each have jokes printed on them (thus two jokes) but are glued on with the jokes facing inward,
thus two jokes (sticking popsicle sticks on a painting and also not allowing them to be read by the viewer).
I like to have fun.”
hmm, I’m not known to be great at math, or maps . . but doesn’t that add up to … FOUR JOKES !!!
twisty, twisty, take 3:
twist a contarian, and this is what you get: the jokes – are printed on the inside !!
wow, one more turn, and those jokes shoulda / coulda been left – on the outside !!!
then, it’d be kind be / you know . . . a Chinese fortune cookie / sync up !!!
and, yeah: dig that faux wood – paneling !!
to die for. I’m sure . . they should be stripped off & preserved / prob in 10 years somebody pay big $$$ to slap them all over their high-end Catskill ranch.
what is it ?
thin . . wallpaper ? & not even faux veneer.
