Cliff is the third wheel of our trail crew. He is a perfect fit for what we do. He loves to hike, he loves to pick up trash, and he is a closet liberal. Cliff is a camp host up the lake, but also goes on our trail adventures. Cliff is surrounded by the rightwing crowd living on the fringe. Among the Trump and Cruz gang. He dare not show his true colors so he enjoys hanging out with Kadizzle and The Commander where he can vent his frustration with the redneck mentality.
Anyone who ever spent much time with Kadizzle would soon realize he blames Republicans for just about every malady on the planet. Yesterday as we picked up trash on top of the mountain we were discussing the mess and Cliff said " Must have been Republicans". It was a good dig at Kadizzle and one of those little humorous moments that make life fun. Subtle wry humor is always fun. Bob up the street back home is good at that type of humor. Humor that brings people back to reality and Earth is a good thing. Nothing is better at deflating an ego that is about to burst than a good humorous dig.
Unquestionably humor and intelligence go hand in hand. Once my cousin said " You can't fool me, I am too stupid". I always loved that statement. Think about it. When you watch a magic show you get fooled by cleverly being mislead, but if you are stupid you don't even have enough brain power to be deluded. Look at any well qualified crazy person, usually they are intelligent. Take the paranoid, it takes some thinking to dream up a good scheme you can convince yourself it is true. Nothing is more therapeutic than laughing at yourself. If you do not have the ability to see yourself with a sense of humor, just pull out the gun and shoot yourself.
