Law of Fives as it relates to birth control

March 11, 2012 by JD · Comments Off
Filed under: Musings 

Sometimes, when I sleep, my big old brain gets out of its own way and let’s my subconscious make connections I’d never make when I’m awake. This happened last night.

Most of you will not be interested in this, and you can safely skip this and go about your day and lose nothing by doing so.

A small minority of you may actually read this and be illuminated by its clarity. For that, I apologize.

We all heard Mr. Limbaugh calling the young law student a slut and propositioning her to submit sex tapes for his viewing pleasure.

Some people agreed with his stance and supported his basic premise that they were tired of paying for other people to have sex.

Some people were outraged and fought back, and this has resulted in a dozen or more corporations removing their advertising from Mr. Limbaugh’s show, and others that are similarly divisive.

Then, yesterday, I saw the video of the Reformed Whores singing “I’m a slut.” In this parody, they took the slur and redefined the meaning and made it funny and memorable.

So, what did my sleeping brain do? Nothing. It just dreamed weird dreams, but my subconscious put 2 and 3 together and came up with 5.

This reminded me of the Law of Fives from Disordianism, which infallibly states that all things are directly or indirectly related to 5.

So we have Mr. Limbaugh (1), the Reformed Whores (2), women’s health/birth control (1), taxes (1) and that adds up to 5. QED.

But then, looking deeper we have a dozen companies that stopped advertising on his show (at least until the heat dies down) (12), and no matter how I parse it, it seems to contradict the infallible law of fives.

5 + 12 = 17 = 1 + 7 = 8. hmmmm. What am I missing.

I’m too lazy to look up exactly how many advertisers ducked out of the party, and that usually isn’t necessary to apply the law of fives, any way. However, I’m obviously missing something and I’m not going to stop looking until the infallible law of fives once again becomes infallible.

So, in the interests of research, and having nothing better to do while my coffee and blueberry muffin get cold, I found this article: 98 advertisers to drop Rush Limbaugh

It says that 98 advertisers want to avoid this controversy, not a dozen.

So, RL (1) + RW (2) + wh/bc (1) + taxes (1) + a (98) = 103 = 1 + 3 = 4. What?

And then I realized. Me. I’m thinking about this, so 4 + JD (1) = 5. QED.

And there you have it. Proof, that if you look hard enough, you can always find something that supports whatever you want to prove.

People who don’t want to pay taxes so other people can have fun can support Mr. Limbaugh’s slimy tactics and find support for their opinions.

People who want to fight can find ways to make the advertisers flee.

People who want to laugh can write and perform a funny song, or watch it after someone else does the work.

It’s all about perception. Change your perception, change the world. Help someone else change their perception and change their world.

Some do it through fear and that leads to more paranoia and conspiracy theories and uncertainty and doubt.

Some do it through absurdity and humor and that leads to more laughing and we all know laughter is the best medicine (the Reader’s Digest tells us this, so it must be true) and that leads to better health and more pleasure.

More pleasure leads to more sex (and vice versa) and that leads to a need for birth control.

So, I’m inclined to wonder if laughter would also be an effective method of birth control. And it’s cheap, so nobody has to support it through paying taxes.

I know, in my case (and I can speak only for myself) that laughter has been a reliable method of contraception. On too many occasions, I’ve sidled up to a beautiful woman and whispered something in her ear that caused her to suddenly burst into fits of laughter until she’s gasping for breath and tears were flowing from her eyes.

Then, every time she recovered, she’d look at me and fall down laughing, all over again. Eventually, when she could breathe, again, she’d look at me and say, “What? Me? and YOU?” and then she’d fall down laughing, all over again.

It sounds like it would be fun, but it wasn’t.

But, it was effective birth control.

I bet that would work for Mr. Limbaugh, too.

Holy Chao.

(If you’ve read this far and have no clue about any of this, you may want to read some of this: Discordianism)

Now, aren’t you glad you don’t live in my head? (grin)
