Today, at last, I found intelligent conversation; what a breath of fresh air it is! Lately I’ve felt like everyone around me were idiots… and the arguments; just ridiculous. No matter what the topic, their comments were predictable, banal, boring. I was beginning to think it was all a waste of time. Then, today, out ofContinue reading “Intelligent conversation (Humour)”
