Kadizzle is a certified slob, and pretty good at being lazy. To get certified one must not mess with petty things nor get concerned about them. This creates a massive problem when Kadizzle deals with niggy fiddles. What is the order for forks? Does the salad fork go on the left the right on the inside or outside? Niggy Fiddles care about these things. Kadizzle just cares if the fork can pick up food and shove it in his mouth. Kadizzle used to hunt with a good friend who was a Niggy Fiddle. The fiddler could not just pick up his gun and go out the door, he had to fiddle around for thirty minutes before we could go. If the home of a niggy fiddle caught on fire they would have to do the dishes before the ran out the door so the fire department would not gossip about how unkempt their home was.
There is a historical story about a woman who was married to the president. Cannot remember which first lady it was. Anyway she did not like the imprint of shoes on the carpets in the White House. You know what Kadizzle means. You just vacuumed the carpet, and all the pile is nice, then someone disturbs it by walking across it. The first lady had the staff of the White House constantly making sure there were not impressions in the carpet.
A key part of life is deciding what matters. Most things just don't matter. Some people can see that and others cannot. This creates two camps that are in constant battle. There is definitely something nice about orderliness. However, one must be aware it often creates an illusion. Grocery stores go to great lengths to do facing. What is facing? One time Kadizzle asked his friend who owned a grocery store. Facing is when all the product in the front line is neatly put in a row. This gives the impression there is plenty of product and makes the store look very neat. Sometimes you will find if you look the store is just about out of the product.
How much time time is wasted with things that just don't matter? A good example is watching a craftsman. In many instances the clutter and mess that takes place during construction would drive a niggy fiddle crazy, but in the end the craftsman produces a work of wonder. Now the craftsman gets the job done quickly, but if the niggy fiddle did the job the fiddler would have to stop at every stage and clean up, not the craftsman, he knows the simplest and best way to do it is to get the job done and clean up afterwards. Rarely will you see a niggy fiddle get anything done quickly.
How many times in life have you seen someone watch a niggy fiddle work and get so frustrated they just jump in and do the job because they cannot stand to see the silly niggy fiddle take forever. Here is a classic case. You are going to hire someone to clean your house. You are a niggy fiddle, so you clean the house before they come.
Orderliness does give some people comfort, but think of nature, nature works on a random mess, but it works. There might be a general order to the universe, but it is not up to the standards of a niggy fiddle. The stars are not evenly spaced, and in a line. All the waves do not break the same, yet the wave is in a line. What does that tell you. Sometimes order is essential, geese fly in a V formation. There is a reason for that, but the geese do not walk in a line by the lake. To summarize, there is a time an place for neatness and orderliness, and the ability to discern is crucial for a happy life. Now Mrs. Kadizzle is going to go nuts if Kadizzle does not do the dishes before Marty gets here. He might think we are deplorables.
