Walt receives this postcard......
 |
| WHITE RABBIT? BLAM! |
Walt: He warned me. He said,
“Don’t say it this month!”
Clint: Say what?
Walt: You know. It’s the
first of the month. Sent me this postcard. He gets irritated when I say it
every first of the month.
Clint: Sorry, I’ve lost you.
What is this thing you were warned not to say?
Walt: White Rabbit.
Clint: Ah, the monthly good
luck routine! Who said, “Don’t say it?”
Walt: Fox. Last month he
warned me. He said, “White Rabbit? BLAM!” Then I get this postcard from him. A
posse of rabbit shooters. And a running board draped with ten dead rabbits.
Clint: Unkind.
Walt: But I said it anyway.
White Rabbit, White Rabbit, White Rabbit.

Voice-over
Walt is one of those people
who begin their stories in the middle. Neglects to say who originally did what
to whom. Needs prompting: “Sorry, I’ve lost you.”
Like a dyslexic reader whose
eye movements are uncontrolled, a dyslexic storyteller doesn’t process the
events coherently.

Misunderstandings occur when people insist on their own opinions or beliefs. I agree. even endangered beliefs like “White Rabbitism” should be protected. It’s like protecting “endangered cultures.”
Believing even in humorous concepts can sometimes enrage the humorless.
