I discovered this afternoon why I don't like buttermilk. Now, now I'm
Gonna get into that because first of all, I'm not the kind of a guy
Who forms a snap judgment about some white innocent fluid and it
Again, it seems to me that people who, who do like buttermilk love
Buttermilk beyond anything in existence. They have a thing over
Buttermilk which I won't go into detail about. It's a little, uh
A little pornographic. Um, I have seen people drinking buttermilk in
A way that makes me feel that I, I just shouldn't be watching. So um
So naturally I, you know, I thought about this for a couple of years
And you can imagine how desperate a man has to be to think about
Buttermilk, you know, for a, for a prolonged period. Anything over
Ten minutes has got to be paranoid, you know. Anyway, this afternoon
For some inexplicable reason I saw the light. I had, I had a
Revelation. I-I'll tell you what I had. I had, I had a satori. That's
For those of you who believe in zen, and um, I have a feeling the
Room is loaded with zen people tonight. I'll, I'll tell you what zen
Is. Zen, zen is a kind of philosophical, uh, metaphysical thought
Thing. Y-you have it so far? Um, it's a, a kind of offshoot of
Buddhism in which through concentration, you arrive at certain
Levels of existence and you are capable of answering certain very
Tricky questions. One of the questions is this: you know the sound
Of two hands clapping, but what is the sound of one hand clapping?
Well I, I know that sound. I've uh, I've heard it frequently enough
God knows, and I'm uh, not gonna dwell on it because I'll cry and
A comedian, you know, should be jolly. Anyway, I was telling you
About buttermilk, why I don't like it. I just, I found out today
And I'm going to tell it to you. It is not the buttermilk that
Bothers me. It's the way the glass looks when you're through
Drinking it that makes me sick. That ugly white map inside of that
Glass. Two more seconds and I'll throw up, I know it. Anyway
Thank you so much for listening to this catharsis. It um, it was
Something I had to get off my chest
