It began as the GODFATHER OF MATH, evolved into the GOODFATHER OF MATH. Now this. Go figure...

The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes = G. CARLIN...Stain glass, engraved glass, frosted glass
–give me plain glass = JOHN FOWLES ... Music is the mathematics of the gods=PYTHAGORAS ... Nothing is more fluid than language = R. L. SWIHART
I cannot live without the oxygen of laughter = DAWN POWELL ... !!! ... But laughter cannot survive without the hydrogen of gravitas = PAUL OLIVERIO

Freedom Of Choice ... Goes Out The Window

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
How foolish 
I was
to believe
I had entire
and 
exclusive control
of this blog 
—once upon a time—
  
Then
a very official notice 
was hand-delivered
yesterday
and 
suddenly it felt like
my head was in
a vice grip 

 
The Supreme Court
Of
The Elephantine Ego
will put
Paul Oliverio
on trial
no later than 
March 11, 2026
______________
________________
 
However, 
he must first post
ten blog pages
including 
three related to
Jefferson High School
[in Los Angeles]
two "PhotoVerio" pages
one related to
selling original jokes
—in 1981—
four pages
of his own choice
 
His trial will take place
in the parking lot
of a Denny's Restaurant
—college adjacent—
in either
San Diego or Orange County
 
That is where he will meet
the woman he refers to as
Cat E. Clism
 
Her real name is 
Gertrude Hoppe
 
During World War II, 
her Heidelberg-born
Grandmother had helped
Jews escape to Britian
but the late-night customers
at Denny's call her
"Momma"
and none of these 
young party animals
goes home hungry 
 
Of course,
Oliverio can attach 
copyright symbols
where ever 
he so desires
 
The crimes he is being 
accused of
relate exclusively
to the 
McDonald's 
2026 Superbowl Half-Time
Program
 
The first question
he will have to answer
at his trial is:
 
What did you know
and 
when did you know it?
