What The World Needs Now

... is silliness.

Dear SJG,
Have you always been this silly or did you work at it?
Thanks,
Too Serious

Dear Serious,
I'm one of the lucky ones. I was born silly. Who pops out on the ramp of the hospital? That's just a silly way to arrive on the planet. I'm a firm believer that what the world needs now is more silliness. If you're not naturally silly, don't worry, there are ways to get there. For starters, surround yourself with silly people. How to identify silly people? It's pretty easy. Silly people like to laugh at dumb things. Silly people like to make weird faces and noises that mimic bodily functions. Silly people often dress silly. They wear silly clothes and hats and shoes. But it's not just the wardrobe that makes you silly. It's the attitude. It also helps to think silly thoughts. And a daily dose of "Monty Python" will up your silliness quotient, significantly. Soon you'll be walking silly and talking silly and before you know it, people will start saying, "Crikey! She used to take herself so seriously. Not anymore. Now she's the silliest person I know. I wonder what she's taking and how do I get some?"
You're welcome,
The SJG
