Does Life Have Some Meaning

He asked the janitor if his life had some meaning The small man replied, "Oh, yes, when I'm cleaning" He wondered where the bodybuilder found his meaning 'Muscles' smiled and said, "Only when I'm preening" Next he tapped a psychiatrist for something redeeming Shushing him, Doc whispered, "Wait for my client to stop dreaming" When he interrupted a movie director midst of a screening He almost landed a part with lots of horrified screaming... His search for meaning for the moment completed The cobbler hoped his shoe-pile was no longer depleted

"Shushing him, Doc whispered, "Wait for my client to stop dreaming"" That part amused me and all of the parts entertained me.

I used my 'clever keyboard.' It's the 'baby edition' of a smart board. (Oy, what a groaner!)
