The loneliness vendor is running a sale. ‘Half off my loneliness,’ his sign says. Still no takers. Who wants to acquire the state of a sad, lonely man?
Then a very famous person, a superstar, happens upon the loneliness vendor in his attempt to evade a throng of persistent paparazzi.
The star buys the man’s loneliness, hoping this will provide cover, the asking price a trifle to a man of means such as he.
“Where did he go?” the paparazzi ask the once-famous man.
“Over there,” he tells them, pointing toward the once-lonely man, now thronged by fawning admirers, suffocating, miserable.
Wonderful as the saying goes “Be careful about what you wish for”
Clever piece! Great job ?
It was supposed to say “Great Job!” (Sorry about the typo question mark)
A crash course in irony. First class.
Great message.
