Age, War

Words are strange

Age is just a number

“I’m 83-years-old,” I imagined saying to someone to set the joke up.

“Age is just a number,” I imagined them saying. People say that a lot. “Age is just a number.”

But that’s stupid.

Age is not a number.

It’s a word.

And it’s spelled A G E.

War is not the answer

People also say: “War is not the answer.”

But that depends on the question, doesn’t it?

Like “What does W A R spell?”

War is the answer.

“What is raw spelled backwards?”

War is the answer.

“What do pacifists say is not the answer?”

War!

War! What is it good for?

Filling in a crossword puzzle where the clue is “uncomfortable” and you’ve so far got an AWK at the start and a D at the end.

War is the answer. (AWKWARD is the word in case you didn’t figure it out)

That’s not nothing.
