Postmodern Communication

Driving home from my dad’s doctor appointment. My cell phone rings.

Me: Hello
Dad: (Pointing to McDonald’s) You want to go there and get a sandwich?
Goddess: (on the cell phone) Are you on your way to work?
Me: (to Goddess) No, we’re on the way home from the doctor.
Dad: It’s right over there (pointing two lanes over)
Me: (to Dad) Yeah, but I was going to go another way.
Goddess: What?
Me: (to Goddess) I was trying to do two things at once.
Goddess: Oh, Papa was talking?
Me: (to Goddess) Yeah, he wanted to go to McDonald’s.
Goddess: Oh, he wants you to stop there?
Me: Yeah, because he hasn’t eaten yet, you know.
Goddess: Oh yeah.
Me: (to Goddess) Is there a McDonald’s on 79?
Dad: Huh?
Goddess: What?
Me: (to Goddess) Is there a McDonald’s on 79?
Goddess: Hell, I don’t know.

Great Sincere Real Faithful People Vigorously March to Bring Glorious Highest Songun Politics to Universe

Yep, it's the Democratic People's Republic of Korea songun blog. Well, it's either the real thing or some mighty good satire. Notice how it's on the free version of Blogger just like mine, not Blogger Pro which you have to pay for. Must be the real thing, 'cause they couldn't afford to pay for a website. Just browse thru a little of it - you'll love it if you read it as satire.

Don't believe it's satire? Hey, this is the Postmodern world, it's the reader that gives the narrative its meaning, not the author!
