FOOLISH DEBATE No.2

I'm not just daft - I'm bonkers!

That being the case I thought that I'd better qualify it and check the dictionary definition:

"informal or slang term for mentally irregular"

So I'm not just daft!

I'm not just bonkers!

I'm not just silly!

But I'm officially "mentally irregular" what on earth does that mean?

Irregular bowels I understand.

Irregular periods I understand

Back to the dictionary - irregular = not normal

Therefore I am mentally abnormal hmm - I may be daft but that's taking things just a bit too far!

So let's debate this point "Who or what is normal?"

The suggestion that the Joker in the standard deck of playing cards evolved from the tarot Fool is appealing and often repeated. Present scholarly opinion, though, weighs in against it. The Joker first appeared in the US around 1850, probably for playing either Poker or Euchre. Although it is possible that whoever invented the Joker had seen a tarot deck and liked the Fool card, it would have been a deliberate "borrowing" at a very late date, not any kind of retention from early times.

The Fool Card

The Fool represents the fearless traveller. He leaps before he looks and speaks before he thinks.

The Fool is positively associated with innocence; new beginnings; spirituality; joy; fearlessness; and spontaneity.

Be ready The Fool always releases your untapped potential & throws you into an exciting new phase of your life.

Embrace this time but as the saying goes,”look before you leap!”

GO ON FOOL AROUND AND HAVE A LOVELY DAY!
